Ethel Gander Larcombe Nursery Rhyme
EDITORS COMMENTS
Goosie Goosie Gander," a beloved traditional nursery rhyme, comes to life in this image from the early 20th century. Dated circa 1912, this charming print is the work of Ethel Larcombe, an accomplished English artist known for her illustrations of children's stories and rhymes. The rhyme, which has been passed down through generations, tells the story of a goose who lays an egg every day, except Christmas Day. The mischievous goose, with its distinctive curved beak and plump body, is depicted in this print with a playful expression, as if inviting children to join in the fun of the rhyme. The illustration captures the essence of the rhyme's whimsy and delight, with the goose nestled among a bed of autumn leaves, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the season. The intricate details of the goose's feathers and the delicate shading of the leaves add to the print's charm and appeal. This print is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of traditional nursery rhymes and the illustration styles of the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the joy that can be found in the simplest of rhymes. Whether hung on a wall or displayed in a children's book, this print is sure to bring a smile to the face of young and old alike. Ethel Larcombe's "Goosie Goosie Gander" is a treasure of children's literature and a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional nursery rhymes. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a piece of history, connecting us to the stories and illustrations that have shaped the imaginations of children for generations.
