Bonnet Bucket Elsie Feed Grown Hassall Laziness Lazy Marley Nursery Pigs Rhyme Rhymes Superior Swine

EDITORS COMMENTS
Elsie Marley, once a shy and unassuming farm girl, has grown into a poised and superior young woman. Gone are the days of rising early to feed the swine, as she now lazes in bed until after nine o'clock. The image captures the essence of a carefree and lazy Elsie, with her disheveled bed hair peeking out from under her bonnet, and a look of contentment on her face. The bucket and pig in the foreground serve as a reminder of her humble farming past, but they seem insignificant in comparison to her newfound grace and elegance. The rhyme "Elsie Marley, grown so fine, she won't get up to feed the swine" encapsulates the transformation of this young woman, who once toiled in the fields, but now enjoys the luxuries of a more leisurely life. This charming photograph, taken in the late 20th century, is a testament to the passage of time and the evolution of one's circumstances. The image, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of a life well-lived.
