Gray goose and gander, Waft Your Wings Together - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
A medieval princess and her ladies-in-waiting wish to cross the river, together with her luggage. Their pageboy summons a pair of passing geese and instructs them to use their wings to create a safe seat to transport the princess, while a sour-looking dog standing on the riverbank ponders on whether he will be expected to carry the remaining ladies and the page, as well as the luggage.
" Gray goose and gander - Waft your wings together - And carry the good kings daughter - Over the one-strand river."
From " Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical Victorian nursery rhyme illustration, we are transported to a medieval world where a princess and her ladies-in-waiting face an obstacle in their journey. The scene showcases the creativity and imagination of the era as they devise an unconventional solution. A pair of gray geese gracefully glide through the air, summoned by a young pageboy who has cleverly instructed them to use their wings as a safe seat for the princess. The geese obediently comply, creating a makeshift carriage that will carry the royal daughter across the one-strand river. As the princess prepares for her unique mode of transportation, we see her loyal dog standing on the riverbank with an expression of skepticism. This sour-looking canine contemplates whether he will be expected to bear not only his mistress but also her entourage and luggage. The intricate details in this enchanting print capture our attention - from the ornate castle in the background to each lady's elegant attire. It is evident that every element has been carefully crafted by J. E. Rogers, whose illustrations bring this delightful nursery rhyme to life. This artwork is part of "Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co. , showcasing both artistic skill and chromolith printing techniques by R. Clay Sons & Taylor. As we gaze upon this charming scene, we can't help but be reminded of childhood innocence and timeless tales passed down through generations.
