EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Robert Barnes, my fellow fine," dates back to circa 1770 and transports us back to the world of nursery rhymes. The image, an anonymous work from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, showcases Robert Barnes, a character from a popular English rhyme of the same name. The rhyme, which has its origins in the 18th century, goes as follows: "Robert Barnes, my fellow fine, Had a horse to sell and a pig to sell, And a pig to sell, my fine friend, Had a pig to sell, And a pig was sold, was sold, Was sold, was sold, And a horse was sold, was sold, Was sold, was sold." The woodcut print beautifully illustrates the rhyme, with Robert Barnes depicted as a jovial, rotund figure, dressed in traditional 18th-century attire. He holds a pig under one arm and a horse's reins in the other hand, symbolizing the sale of both animals. The print's intricate details and vivid colors bring the rhyme to life, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. The woodcut technique, a popular method of printmaking during the 18th century, involved carving an image into a block of wood and then inking and printing it onto paper. This process allowed for the mass production of images, making them more accessible to the general public. This charming print not only offers a glimpse into the world of nursery rhymes but also provides a fascinating insight into the art and printmaking techniques of the 18th century. Its enduring appeal and historical significance make it a must-have for any collection focused on English folklore, nursery rhymes, or the history of printmaking.
