EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1833, titled "MAN IN THE MOON" is a delightful piece of American art that transports us back to the early days of nursery rhymes. Taken from the Munroe and Francis edition of Mother Gooses Melodies, this print captures the imagination with its whimsical depiction of a familiar childhood character. In this enchanting scene, we see a child gazing up at the night sky, where the moon takes on an anthropomorphic form. The Man in the Moon appears jovial and friendly as he peers down at Earth below. His face is etched with intricate details, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of wood engraving during that era. The image evokes memories of bedtime stories and lullabies as children drift off to sleep while reciting nursery rhymes about this very character. It reminds us how these simple verses have been passed down through generations, connecting people across time and place. As we admire this artwork, it's impossible not to imagine ourselves as part of those bygone days when porridge-eating men lived in fantastical worlds beyond our own. This print serves as a reminder that even in South America or Middle America during 1833, children found solace in tales filled with magic and wonder. "MAN IN THE MOON" invites us to embrace our inner child once more and marvel at the enduring power of storytelling throughout history.
