EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Evans Picture Library presents an enchanting historical image of Contrary Mary, also known as Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, from an old English nursery rhyme. In this charming print, Mary is depicted with an elegant crane, surrounded by the beauty of her garden. The rhyme, which dates back to the 18th century, asks the question, "How does your garden grow?" Mary's answer, "With shells and pretty maids all in a row," is brought to life in this image. The historical context of this print is intriguing, as the origins of the rhyme remain a mystery. Some believe it may refer to Queen Mary, Queen of Scots, and her alleged involvement in the mysterious disappearance of two of her maids. Others believe it may be a simple children's rhyme, with no deeper meaning. Regardless of its origins, this image captures the whimsy and wonder of the nursery rhyme, with Mary's elegant gown and the crane's graceful curves. The garden is a riot of color, with Canterbury bells and other flowers in full bloom. The inclusion of shells adds an unexpected touch, reminding us of the connection between land and sea, and the natural world's endless capacity for surprise. This print is a beautiful addition to any home or office, and a reminder of the enduring power of nursery rhymes to transport us to another time and place. Whether you're a history buff, a gardening enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to delight and inspire.
