EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing early 20th century print captures two distinct scenes from the world of Nursery Rhymes. Above, an unidentified image depicts a man in a state of agitation, as he bursts into another man's bedroom, brandishing a brush. The scene is shrouded in mystery, leaving the viewer to speculate on the reason behind the interruption. Below, the familiar rhyme "Ride a Cock Horse" comes to life, with a fine lady gracefully riding on a white horse. Dressed in a red medieval-inspired costume, she wears rings on her fingers and bells on her bare toes, as she rides along the country road. The scene exudes an air of elegance and refinement, contrasting sharply with the scene above. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the class difference and the whimsical nature of Nursery Rhymes. The man's aggressive intrusion and the woman's regal riding posture illustrate the contrasting worlds of the privileged and the common folk. The image also underscores the historical significance of these rhymes, which have been passed down through generations, entertaining and educating children for centuries. The print's antique charm and the intriguing juxtaposition of the two scenes make it a captivating addition to any collection, evoking memories of a simpler time and reminding us of the enduring power of storytelling.
