Four Thirsty Geese - A Victorian Children's Game and Song Illustration
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print, dated back to 1886, depicts a delightful scene of four thirsty geese flying towards a well, with five, six, and seven geese and a gosling following closely behind. The image is reminiscent of a popular children's game and song from the 1880s, where the rhyme goes, "Four thirsty geese on the wing, Who wanted to drink at the well of the king, But five came before them, And six came before them, And seven came before them, Before they could reach the well, But the gosling came last, And drank up all the water at last." The illustration exudes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a time when children's games were simple, and imagination was the only limit to their creativity. The girls in the picture are dressed in Victorian attire, adding to the historical context of the image. The geese, with their expressive faces and outstretched wings, seem to be in the midst of a lively and joyful moment. The game of "Four Thirsty Geese" is believed to have originated in England and was commonly played during the Victorian era. It was a simple game that required children to recite the rhyme while clapping and jumping, mimicking the movements of the geese in the game. The song and game provided hours of entertainment for children, and the illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that these games and songs represent. The print is a beautiful example of the illustrative art of the late 19th century and is a testament to the enduring appeal of children's games and songs. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, children's literature, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a bygone era.
