EDITORS COMMENTS
Simple Simon: A Timeless Tale of Curiosity and Delight from the Past This image, circa 1860, depicts the classic scene of "Simple Simon Meets the Pieman Going to the Fair." The story of Simple Simon, a naive and trusting character, originated as a popular English nursery rhyme that has been passed down through generations. In this photograph, we see Simple Simon, dressed in a suit and hat, engaging with the cheerful pieman, who carries a large basket filled with enticing pies. The pieman, with a welcoming smile, offers his wares to Simple Simon, who, with an eager expression, extends his hand for a taste. The vibrant green pies, artfully arranged in the basket, add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The pieman, dressed in a cook's apron, wears a confident and satisfied expression, as if he knows that his pies will surely delight Simple Simon. This photograph, reminiscent of a bygone era, transports us back to a time of innocence and simple pleasures. The image captures the essence of the rhyme, which teaches us about the importance of being cautious and wary of those who may try to deceive us, while also reminding us to embrace the joy of new experiences and the simple pleasures in life. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of Simple Simon and the pieman, and the timeless tale that continues to captivate us today.
