EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Hey Diddle Diddle" takes us back to the enchanting world of children's nursery rhymes. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The illustration originates from Routledge's Singing Quadrille, a publication by George Routledge and Sons in London around 1880. It beautifully captures the whimsical essence of the popular nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle". The scene depicts various elements from the song, including a mischievous cat playing with kittens and a loyal collie dog standing guard. Intriguingly, alongside these adorable animals are objects that add depth to the composition. A spoon and other pieces of cutlery and crockery suggest that music is being made with unconventional instruments. A woodwind instrument adds melody to this charming tableau while a full moon shines brightly in outer space. Adding further intrigue are farm animals like cows peacefully grazing nearby as well as violins resting on dishes filled with food supplies. This black-and-white lithograph transports viewers into a magical narrative where imagination knows no bounds. Bridgeman Images has preserved this delightful piece of art for future generations to appreciate its storytelling qualities and artistic merit. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be transported back to our childhoods when nursery rhymes held endless wonderment and joy.
