Greed Greedy Lets Nursery Obesity Rhymes Sleepy Slow Tarry 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a whimsical scene straight out of a nursery rhyme. Titled "Come to Bed Says Sleepy," the image features three women dressed in elaborate medieval costumes, embodying characters from the popular children's rhyme. The central figure, Sleepy Head, beckons with a drowsy expression while her companions Slow and Greedy Nan playfully interact around her.
The attention to detail in this historical depiction is truly remarkable, transporting viewers back to 1901 when this photograph was taken. The rich textures of the bed linens and intricate clothing evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
Themes of indulgence and laziness are subtly woven throughout the composition, as evidenced by Greedy Nan's insistence on eating before retiring for the night. The juxtaposition of these vices against the backdrop of innocence found in nursery rhymes adds depth to the narrative portrayed in this image.
Overall, "Come to Bed Says Sleepy" is not just a snapshot frozen in time but a window into history that invites us to reflect on our own relationships with sleep, food, and leisure. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, human nature remains constant - we all have moments when we just want to tarry awhile before heading off to bed.
