Hey Diddle Diddle Date: Circa late 19th century Artist: Terry Parker Description: This illustration, titled "Hey Diddle Diddle," transports us back to a simpler time, evoking the whimsy and charm of a classic nursery rhyme. The image features a mischievous cat, perched atop a fiddle, bow in hand, as it plays a lively tune. The fiddle, with its intricate scrollwork and rosin-covered bow, stands proudly on a music stand, surrounded by the remnants of a disheveled room. A piano lies open in the background, its keys half-covered in dust, while a sheet of music, scattered with notes and smudges, lies on the floor. The scene is filled with delightful details that bring the rhyme to life. A curious dog looks on from the doorway, its tongue out in anticipation of the music. A pig sits contentedly in a nearby armchair, a pipe in hand, while a cow and a horse gaze at each other from opposite ends of the room. The overall effect is one of joyful chaos, as if the animals have come together for an impromptu musical gathering. This illustration, by Terry Parker, is a beautiful example of the rich and imaginative artwork that was popular during the late 19th century. It invites us to imagine a world where animals play music and nursery rhymes come to life, and to appreciate the simple pleasures of a good tune and a good time.
