Beat Crane Nursery Rhymes Roaring Stole
EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom Piper's Son, also known as the mischievous character from the classic English nursery rhyme, comes to life in this historical print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image depicts a young boy, Tom, wearing a red cap and holding a pig under each arm, with a determined expression on his face and a crane in the background. Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son, is a well-known rhyme that tells the story of a young boy who stole a pig and made a hasty escape, only to be caught and punished. The origins of this rhyme are shrouded in mystery, with various theories suggesting it may have originated from a 17th-century event or be a reference to a folk tale. Regardless of its origins, the rhyme has remained a beloved part of English folklore and has been passed down through generations. This print, which dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and adds a visual element to the well-known rhyme. The use of bold colors and intricate details in the illustration bring the story to life and transport us back in time. The crane in the background is an interesting addition to the image, as it is not mentioned in the rhyme itself. It is possible that the artist included it as a visual representation of Tom's occupation as a piper's son, or as a symbol of his strength and agility, as cranes were often used as a metaphor for power and resilience in folklore. Overall, this print is a delightful and intriguing addition to any collection of historical or folklore-inspired art. Its vivid colors, intricate details, and connection to a beloved nursery rhyme make it a must-have for anyone with an interest in English folklore or the history of children's literature.
