1818 Corner Eating Horner Jack Nursery Rhymes Thumb
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 1818 print, titled "Little Jack Horner," depicts the iconic figure of the English nursery rhyme character in a cozy corner, seated in an old-fashioned blue chair with a red hat on his head. The scene takes place in a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a fireplace and a Christmas pie cooling on the table in the background. The focus, however, is on the mischievous little boy, who is deep in thought as he reaches into the pie with his thumb, a devilish grin spreading across his face. The rhyme "Little Jack Horner" has been a beloved part of English folklore for centuries. The exact origins of the rhyme are uncertain, but it is believed to have been first published in the late 18th century. The story goes that Jack Horner was a cook who was given a plum pudding as a reward for his good work. When he discovered a strategic placement of a bone in the pudding, he pulled it out and replaced it with a piece of mutton, thus tricking his master into eating the mutton instead. The rhyme has since been adapted into various versions, with the character of Jack Horner becoming synonymous with mischievousness and trickery. This beautiful print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of the rhyme and the spirit of the season, making it a delightful addition to any home or office. The intricate details and rich colors bring the story to life, transporting us back in time to a simpler era, where the joy of a good pie and a clever trick could bring hours of amusement and wonder.
