EDITORS COMMENTS
There Was a Little Man & He Had a Little Gun" is a captivating silhouette print depicting a tiny man proudly holding a gun, a classic image that has captivated audiences for over a century. This particular print, believed to date from around 1918, is a fine example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized the nursery rhyme illustrations of the time. The print, published by Kensington, showcases the little man in profile against a dark background, his small figure framed by the barrel of his gun. The man's silhouette is delicately etched, revealing the subtle curves and lines of his body and the intricate details of his gun. The artist's skill is evident in the way the man's clothing billows out behind him, creating a sense of movement and energy. This print is a nod to the popular nursery rhyme of the same name, which has been passed down through generations. The rhyme, which tells the story of a little man who shoots a bigger man, has been the subject of much debate and interpretation over the years. Some believe it to be a cautionary tale about violence, while others see it as a simple children's rhyme. Regardless of its meaning, this print is a beautiful and intriguing piece of art from a bygone era. It is a testament to the enduring power of nursery rhymes and the artistry of the illustrators who brought them to life. Whether displayed in a home or office, this print is sure to spark conversation and delight anyone who sees it. The print measures approximately 8 x 10 inches and is in excellent condition, with no signs of fading or damage. It is a rare find for collectors of vintage prints and a must-have for anyone with an interest in nursery rhymes or the history of art. This print is not to be confused with any commercial use or mass-produced reproductions, but rather a genuine, high-quality print from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive.
