1884 Baked Black Birds Jack Knave Nursery Pocket Rhymes Sing Sixpence Song Twenty


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Song of Sixpence 3 / 3" from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the 19th century with its intriguing depiction of a historical scene. The photograph showcases a regal queen, dressed in rich fabrics and adorned with a crown, engaged in a playful moment with three playing cards: a queen, a jack, and a king. The queen's playful grin and the jaunty pose of the cards suggest a lighthearted nursery rhyme or game. The title of the photograph is derived from the popular English nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence," which goes, "Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye, four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, when the pie was opened the birds began to sing." The presence of the sixpence, a historical English coin, and the rhyme's reference to baked birds add an intriguing layer to the image. The cards in the photograph are not just ordinary playing cards, but rather, they appear to be hand-painted and ornate, adding to the antique charm of the image. The use of historical cards, along with the queen's attire and the overall setting, suggests that this photograph may have been taken during the late 1800s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions that have shaped our cultural heritage. The image is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of nursery rhymes and the role they play in shaping our collective memory. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a conversation starter, this photograph is sure to captivate and intrigue anyone who comes across it.
