In the spirit of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part I, where Sir Evan Evans hears a booming voice declare 'That thou never shalt, sir, cried a voice as loud as a culverin,' this whimsical collection of images tells tales of old. A woman, with curly locks reminiscent of Shakespearean times, is unceremoniously ejected from the pews of the Foundling Hospital Chapel, her shocked expression captured in a detailed coloured engraving. In contrast, a comic postcard from the 20th century shows a man and woman, their curly locks framing their playful faces as they sit on a garden fence. Another comic postcard features a boy and girl, their curls bouncing as they lean against a garden fence, their laughter echoing through the air. And let us not forget the wise words of the engraving, 'Thou shalt do no manner of work - thou, nor thy cattle,' a reminder from the days of ST CHRISTOPHER / BRICKDALE that sometimes, a break is necessary. Even the curly-haired cows seem to agree in Curly Locks 3.
