EDITORS COMMENTS
Polly Put the Kettle On" is a classic English nursery rhyme that has been passed down through generations, and this charming print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the past, depicting the very moment when Polly, the protagonist of the rhyme, fills her kettle at the well. The historical image captures the simplicity and innocence of rural life in days gone by, with Polly dressed in traditional attire, her apron tied neatly around her waist, as she leans over the well pump, her kettle in hand. The well, a common feature in rural homes until the 19th century, is a symbol of the community's reliance on nature for their daily needs. The print also shows Sukey, a young girl, standing nearby, perhaps ready to help Polly or maybe just curious about the task at hand. The kettle, a simple yet essential item in every household, is an iconic symbol of the British tea tradition, which has been a part of the country's cultural fabric for centuries. The rhyme itself, with its catchy tune and simple lyrics, has been a source of delight and amusement for children for generations. Its origins are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the 18th or 19th century. The rhyme's second verse, "Sukey, take it off again, they've all gone away," suggests that the tea party was a social event, and the guests have left, leaving Polly to clean up. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any home or office decor but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of rural England in days gone by. The print's historical accuracy and attention to detail make it a must-have for anyone interested in English history, folklore, or culture.
