If All the World Was Apple Pie - A Delightful Rhyme from the Early 20th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical illustration from circa 1912, titled "If All the World Was Apple Pie; And all the sea was ink, And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we have to drink?" This delightful nursery rhyme, set against the backdrop of a serene and fantastical landscape, invites us to ponder the impossible question of what we would drink if such a world existed. In this scene, the world is transformed into an edible wonderland, where apples replace the earth's terrain, and the sea is inked with the darkest of hues. The trees, once standing tall and proud, are now transformed into loaves of bread and blocks of cheese, providing sustenance to the inhabitants of this magical realm. But what about a drink to quench their thirst? The answer, as the rhyme suggests, is left to our imagination. Perhaps it's a glass of sweet cider to complement the apple-filled world, or a steaming mug of tea to balance the savory flavors of the bread and cheese trees. Whatever the answer, this enchanting illustration invites us to use our creativity and indulge in the whimsy of the impossible. This print, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage illustrations, nursery rhymes, or historical art. Transport yourself to a world of wonder and imagination, where the impossible becomes a delicious reality.
