Ethel Larcombe Locket Lost Lucy Nursery Rhyme
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket," dates back to 1912 and was captured by the renowned British photographer, Ethel Larcombe. The image portrays a young girl, Lucy, with an expression of disappointment and concern on her face, as she reaches into her dress to discover that her precious locket is missing. The traditional nursery rhyme of the same name, which has been passed down through generations, tells the story of Lucy and her lost locket. The rhyme goes as follows: 'Little Lucy Locket, lost her pocket, And in it her silver sixpence, A penny for a picture, And two pence for the print, And three pence for the key, And one penny to buy it back again.' The history of this photograph is intriguing, as it not only captures a moment in time but also connects us to a beloved nursery rhyme. The image has been preserved and is now available for us to appreciate the artistry of Ethel Larcombe and the enduring appeal of the traditional nursery rhyme. The photograph is a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of art to transport us to another time and place. It is a reminder of the simple joys and challenges of childhood, and the importance of cherishing the things that matter most to us. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, and a beautiful addition to any collection of vintage images or nursery rhyme memorabilia.
