EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Day in the English Countryside: Foxhunters Encounter a Hedgehog and Mary Tends Her Contrary Garden This delightful pair of early 20th century illustrations showcases two beloved nursery rhymes brought to life. In the top image, three jovial foxhunters on horseback are surprised by an unexpected discovery - a hedgehog hiding in the undergrowth. The hunters, with their red coats and tall hats, are in the midst of a lively chase, their faces reflecting a mix of amusement and surprise at the encounter. The hedgehog, with its prickly quills raised, seems unperturbed by the intrusion, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. Below, in a serene contrast, we find Mary, Mary, quite contrary, tending to her garden. With a watering can in one hand and a trowel in the other, she is surrounded by an array of colorful flowers, shells, and bells. Her face is focused and determined as she carefully tends to her line of growing vegetables. The anthropomorphism of these humanized characters adds to the charm and nostalgia of these timeless nursery rhymes. These illustrations not only offer a glimpse into the history of English folklore but also showcase the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the early 20th century. The faces and expressions of the characters, as well as the intricate details of their surroundings, make for a captivating and enduring visual experience.
