EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the famous old rhyme, 'There was an Old Person of Ems,' brought to life through the whimsical illustrations of a 19th-century book. The scene unfolds on the banks of the Thames River, where an elderly man, dressed in the fashion of the era, is shown taking a leisurely stroll. His carefree expression belies the unfortunate incident that is about to transpire – he casually falls into the river. The historical significance of this print lies in its connection to the popular English nursery rhyme, which first appeared in print in 1846. The rhyme, which has its origins in the 18th century, tells the tale of an unlucky old person from the town of Ems who meets his demise by falling into the Thames. The rhyme's nonsensical nature and its dark undertones have intrigued generations of readers and listeners. This print, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such rhymes were a source of entertainment and amusement. The image of the old person, found drowned in the Thames, serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictability of life and the enduring power of storytelling. This print, published by a respected book company of the time, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this old rhyme and the role that books and illustrations played in shaping the cultural landscape of the 19th century. It is a fascinating piece of historical ephemera that continues to captivate and delight, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the power of a good story.
