The rhyme, with its enchanting verses and riddle-like nature, has been a staple in the annals of children's literature since its inception. In this charming print, we see Mary, the protagonist, standing in her garden, surrounded by an array of curious objects and whimsical characters. Mary, dressed in a traditional Victorian-era gown, looks puzzled as she ponders the question posed by the rhyme: "How does your garden grow?" The answer to this riddle lies in the objects scattered around her: silver bells, cockle-shells, and pretty maids all in a row. These items symbolize the unconventional methods Mary uses to cultivate her garden, which adds to the allure and intrigue of the rhyme. The illustration, believed to date back to the 1930s, captures the essence of this beloved nursery rhyme and offers a glimpse into the past. The soft colors, intricate details, and whimsical style transport us back to a simpler time, where the imagination and wonder of childhood reigned supreme.
