EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the whimsical and timeless nursery rhyme, 'There was an old woman tossed up in a basket.' Originally published in The Land of Nursery Rhyme by J.M. Dent in 1930, this print transports us back in time to a simpler era. The old woman, dressed in traditional attire, sits calmly and confidently in the woven basket, held aloft by two men. Her expression suggests an air of amusement and resignation, as if she has experienced this peculiar adventure many times before. The men, with their determined expressions and outstretched arms, seem to be making a valiant effort to lift the basket high into the air. The quaint setting, with its rustic buildings and rolling hills in the background, adds to the charm and nostalgia of the scene. This print is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of nursery rhymes to capture our imaginations and transport us to far-off lands and bygone eras.
