1881 Called Hearts Nursery Rhymes Tarts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print, titled "The Queen of Hearts, Caldecott: 5 of Hearts (The King of Hearts called for those tarts)," transports us back to the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," first published in 1865. The image, dating back to 1881, depicts the iconic Queen of Hearts, a character renowned for her fiery temper and distinctive red heart-adorned garments. The Queen, with her regal bearing and stern expression, is shown in the midst of a royal decree, calling for her loyal subjects, represented by the five hearts at her feet, to present her with some tarts. The King of Hearts, not depicted in this print, is likely the one issuing the demand. This historical print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of nursery rhymes and children's literature. The Caldecott Medal, named after Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator, was first awarded in 1938 to recognize the most distinguished American picture book for children. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Carroll's classic tale and the importance of illustrations in bringing stories to life. As we admire this enchanting piece, we are reminded of the timeless magic of nursery rhymes and the captivating characters they introduce to us. The Queen of Hearts and her call for tarts continue to delight and intrigue readers, young and old, more than a century after their introduction to the literary world.
