EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures the somber scene of the Death of Cock Robin, as depicted in the classic nursery rhyme. The image is filled with a sense of mourning and grief, as all the birds of the air are shown a-sighing and a-sobbing at the loss of poor Cock Robin.
In the foreground, we see typical English songbirds such as Wren, Song Thrush, Skylark, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, and Yellowhammer gathered around in sorrow. Each bird seems to be expressing their own form of sadness over the death of their fellow feathered friend.
The intricate details in this 19th-century illustration bring to life the pain and loss felt by these animals in the wild. The tombstone serves as a stark reminder of mortality while also adding a touch of melancholy to the overall composition.
Through this artful depiction, we are reminded not only of our own mortality but also of our interconnectedness with nature. The Death of Cock Robin remains a timeless tale that continues to evoke emotions of sadness and reflection even today.
This print is not just an illustration but a poignant portrayal of grief and lamentation that transcends time and speaks to our shared experiences with loss and mourning.
