Childhood Nursery Rhyme Rhymes Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print captures the whimsical world of a classic nursery rhyme, "Let's Go to Bed." Dating back to the 1930s, this illustration brings to life the verses of this cherished children's rhyme, which has been passed down through generations. The scene depicts a group of anthropomorphic animals gathered around a cozy hearth, each taking turns reciting the next line of the rhyme. A sleepy-eyed hedgehog initiates the verse, while a tortoise urges his friends to "tarry a while." A cat, wearing a chef's hat and apron, suggests putting on the pan, and a greedy nan goose, with a mischievous grin, proposes "Let's sup before we go." The warm, inviting colors and intricate details of the illustration evoke the nostalgic feeling of a simpler time, when bedtime stories were a cherished part of childhood. The print's antique aesthetic transports us back to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of a bygone era. This piece is not only a beautiful addition to any nursery or children's room, but also a wonderful conversation starter for sharing the story behind the rhyme with young children. Let the magic of "Let's Go to Bed" continue to enchant and delight, as it has done for generations.
