" Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye - Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie - When the pie was open d the birds began to sing - Was that not a dainty dish to set before the King? - The King was in his counting house counting out his money - The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey - The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes - When up jumped a dickey bird and snapt off her nose." The rhyme explains it all!

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Victorian era, where nursery rhymes were cherished and illustrated with intricate detail. The image depicts a scene from the popular rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence" bringing its whimsical verses to life. In this enchanting illustration, we see a pocket full of rye held by an elegant lady dressed in traditional attire. A magnificent pie sits before her, adorned with four and twenty blackbirds baked within its golden crust. As the pie is opened, these feathered creatures burst into song, creating a truly magical moment. Meanwhile, the King can be seen engrossed in his counting house, meticulously tallying his wealth while the Queen indulges herself with bread and honey in the comfort of their opulent parlour. In contrast to their regal activities, a maid diligently hangs laundry out in the garden. However, amidst this idyllic setting emerges an unexpected twist as a mischievous dickey bird playfully snatches away the maid's nose! This humorous element adds an amusing touch to an already delightful composition. The artist J. E. Rogers masterfully captures every intricate detail of this beloved nursery rhyme illustration using chromolith printing techniques by R. Clay Sons & Taylor. Published in 1876 by Macmillan and Co. , this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers today with its rich storytelling and nostalgic charm.
