As I Was Going Up Pippen Hill - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
A young man dressed in medieval attire greeting a young lady who is dropping a curtsey. Meanwhile, a man with a broom sweeps Pippen Hills footpath and we are treated to the sight of a European fantasy town below with a small sailing ship on the sea containing a man whose size compared with the neighbouring spires appears to be gigantic.
" As I was going up Pippen hill - Pippen hill was dirty - There I met a pretty miss - And she dropt me a curtsey - Little miss pretty miss - Blessings light upon you - If I had a half a crown a day - I d spend it all on you."
From " Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co

Meanwhile, a diligent man sweeps the footpath of Pippen Hill with his trusty broom, ensuring its cleanliness. But what truly captivates our imagination is the breathtaking view that lies beyond the hill. A European fantasy town sprawls below, its charming spires reaching towards the sky. Amidst this picturesque setting, a small sailing ship sails gracefully upon the sea. And there, amidst it all stands an enormous figure aboard the vessel - his size dwarfing even the tallest spires of the town. As we delve into this delightful scene from "Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" illustrated by J. E. Rogers and brought to life through chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor in 1876 London by Macmillan and Co. , we can't help but be swept away by its magic.
