Four & Twenty Blackbirds

EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and enchanting silhouette art piece, dating back to the early 20th century, circa 1918. This beautiful work of art, published by Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts the classic nursery rhyme scene of four women, each with twenty blackbirds in a basket. The women are elegantly dressed in fine Kensington attire, reflecting the high society standards of the time. The artist, whose identity remains a mystery, masterfully captures the essence of the rhyme through the use of silhouettes, creating a timeless and captivating visual narrative. The blackbirds, represented as small, delicate silhouettes, add an element of whimsy and charm to the piece. The rhyme itself, "Four and Twenty Blackbirds," is a traditional English nursery rhyme that has been passed down through generations. The lyrics describe the women's surprise when they discover that one blackbird has been added to each of their baskets, making for a total of eighty blackbirds instead of the expected sixty. This art piece, with its intricate details and rich history, is a testament to the enduring appeal of nursery rhymes and the power of art to transport us to another time and place. The use of silhouettes adds a layer of mystery and intrigue, making it a fascinating addition to any art collection or home decor. Whether you're a fan of nursery rhymes, silhouette art, or simply appreciate the beauty of the past, "Four & Twenty Blackbirds" is sure to capture your imagination and delight your senses.
