Call Greenaway Latch Lift Neighbours Nursery Rhymes Spin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print, titled "Crosspatch / Greenaway: Lift the latch, Sit by the fire and spin; Take a cup and drink it up, then call your neighbours in," is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a cheerful and plump woman in a traditional apron, seated comfortably by a roaring fireplace. She holds a cup of steaming hot beverage in her hands, her eyes twinkling with warmth and merriment. The scene is set in a cozy, rustic cottage, with the latch of the door slightly ajar, inviting the viewer to step inside. The rhyme inscribed at the bottom of the print, "Lift the latch, Sit by the fire and spin; Take a cup and drink it up, then call your neighbours in," is a nod to the communal and neighborly spirit of the past. This simple act of hospitality and companionship is a reminder of the importance of connection and community in our lives. The print, which dates back to the early 20th century, is a beautiful example of historical nursery rhyme art. The intricate details of the woman's clothing, the patterned wallpaper, and the textured fireplace are all rendered with exquisite care and attention to detail. This print is not only a visual treat but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and customs of a simpler time. Whether displayed as a decorative piece in a living room or used as inspiration for a cozy home-cooked meal, this print is sure to bring warmth and joy to any space. Its timeless appeal and enduring charm make it a cherished addition to any collection of vintage prints or nursery rhyme memorabilia.
