Blind Blindness Folkard Mice Nursery Rhyme Rhymes
Three Blind Mice
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a beloved nursery rhyme that has been passed down through generations, and this illustration by Charles Folkard brings the tale to life in a poignant and historical way. Dated back to 1923, this image depicts three forlorn blind mice huddled together, their expressions conveying a sense of sadness and despair. The mice, with their white fur and pink noses, are expertly rendered in intricate detail, each one holding a cane or a walking stick, symbolizing their blindness. Charles Folkard (1877-1960) was a renowned British illustrator, known for his work in children's books and magazines. His illustrations were characterized by their whimsy, charm, and attention to detail, making them a favorite among collectors and scholars of children's literature. This particular illustration of "Three Blind Mice" is a prime example of Folkard's artistic prowess, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The rhyme itself has its origins shrouded in mystery, with various theories suggesting it may have originated in the 18th or 19th century. Some believe it may have been inspired by the persecution of the blind during the Middle Ages, while others suggest it may have been a cautionary tale about the dangers of playing with fire. Regardless of its origins, "Three Blind Mice" remains a beloved nursery rhyme that continues to captivate and delight children and adults alike. This historical illustration by Charles Folkard serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the magic of the written word.
