EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Night of Nursery Rhymes: Blowing Horns under the Moonlight and Foxhunting in the Snow" This pair of early 20th century illustrations brings to life two beloved nursery rhymes: "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" and "Ring a Ring o' Roses." In the top illustration, a jovial man in blue pyjamas and a nightcap braves the cold winter night, blowing a horn under the gentle glow of the full moon. The serene scene is reminiscent of the line "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How does your garden grow?" as the man's horn call echoes through the still night. In the lower illustration, three dapper men on horseback engage in the traditional pastime of foxhunting, as depicted in "Ring a Ring o' Roses." Clad in riding gear and red coats, they ride through the snowy landscape, their horses' breaths visible in the frosty air. The thrill of the chase is palpable as they follow the trail of the elusive fox, their determined expressions and raised horns signaling their readiness. These charming illustrations offer a glimpse into the history of nursery rhymes and the unique way they have captured the imagination of generations. The combination of winter wonderland and merriment creates a timeless tableau that continues to resonate with audiences today.
