Bending Bent Cave Cooking Drawn Driving Elderly Hunched Illustrations Lane Nursery Rhyme Rhymes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing diptych, taken from early 20th century nursery rhyme illustrations, transports us back in time to a simpler era. Above, an old woman, bent with age, sits outside a cave, her hunched silhouette casting long shadows on the ground. She tends to her daily chores, with a cooking pot bubbling over an open fire, smoke curling up into the crisp autumn air. Her faithful cat keeps her company, its ears perked up as it watches the scene unfold. Below, in a stark contrast, a man confidently rides in a horse-drawn cart, the jingling bells announcing his arrival. In the front, a pig, with its snout sticking out, seems to enjoy the ride as much as its human companion. The man's calm expression and the serene countryside landscape add to the idyllic setting. These illustrations, reminiscent of a bygone era, evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. They bring to life the classic nursery rhymes that have been passed down through generations, tales that have shaped our collective childhood memories. The old woman's simple life, filled with daily chores and companionship, and the man's leisurely journey with his pig, are timeless moments frozen in history.
