Sing a Song of Sixpence
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic Victorian-era nursery rhyme that tells the tale of a king and his queen, their fine feast, and the unexpected guests that gate-crashed their meal. This beautiful 19th century photograph, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of this beloved rhyme as the king, resplendent in his regal attire and adorned with a golden crown, raises his silver spoon to take a bite from his pie. The anticipation in the king's expression is palpable as he leans over the table laden with a sumptuous spread. A servant, dressed in the traditional Victorian livery, stands attentively nearby, holding a tankard and a bag of sixpences, ready to serve his master. But the moment the king cuts into his pie, the scene takes an unexpected turn. Blackbirds, perched on the branches of the tree outside the window, burst into song, their melodic voices filling the room. The king and queen look on in surprise and delight as the birds continue to sing, their money bags hanging from the tree branches, adding to the whimsical scene. This photograph, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back in time to the Victorian era, allowing us to experience the magic of "Sing a Song of Sixpence" as if we were there. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of this nursery rhyme, which continues to captivate and delight generations of children and adults alike.
