EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Cock Robin, a classic nursery rhyme that has captured the imagination of generations. In this scene, the ominous figure of the owl, with its piercing gaze and sharp beak, is shown in the act of digging a grave in the forest, a grave that will soon hold the corpse of the late bird, Cock Robin. The contrast between the early bird, which is often depicted as the wise and industrious creature that catches the worm, and the late bird, who meets an untimely end, is a common theme in folklore and literature. In this historical print from the Mary Evans Picture Library, the late bird's tragic fate is brought to life, adding a somber note to the otherwise cheerful rhyme. The image of the owl digging the grave is a powerful one, and it speaks to the cyclical nature of life and death. The owl, an animal often associated with wisdom and mystery, is an apt symbol for the forces of nature that are beyond our control. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when stories were passed down orally and the natural world held a deep and profound significance. The rhyme of Cock Robin, with its memorable lines and catchy rhythm, has survived the test of time, and this print serves as a reminder of its enduring appeal. Whether you are a fan of nursery rhymes, folklore, or simply appreciate the beauty of historical prints, this image of Cock Robin and the owl is sure to captivate and inspire you.
