To Market, To Market, To Buy a Fat Pig
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and timeless image that takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically circa 1918. This silhouette print, created by an unknown artist, depicts a bustling Kensington Market scene, where the hustle and bustle of daily life comes alive. The market, teeming with fine, plump pigs, is a testament to the prosperity of the society during that era. The image is reminiscent of the classic nursery rhyme of the same name, which has been passed down through generations. The rhyme goes, "To market, to market, to buy a fat pig, Home again, home again, jiggety jig." The print captures the essence of this rhyme, with the market scene unfolding before us, filled with vendors selling their finest wares, and customers, including Beatrice and Susan, making their way through the crowd, their baskets in hand. The print's intricate details and fine artistry are evident in the way the silhouettes of the people and animals are depicted. The pigs, in particular, are portrayed as plump and fine, their silhouettes contrasting against the background of the market stalls. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. Published by Mary Evans Prints Online, this print is a treasure trove of history and art, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. It is a reminder of the richness and diversity of life in the early 1900s, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the market scene in art and literature. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of everyday life, this print is sure to capture your imagination and delight your senses.
