EDITORS COMMENTS
Here Come Three Tinkers: A Victorian Snapshot of Song, Game, and Courtship This photograph, titled "Here come three tinkers, three by three," transports us back to the 1880s, a time of simplicity and charm. The image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases three young boys, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing mischievous grins, as they approach a Victorian lady with a song in hand. The scene is set in the 1880s, an era marked by horse-drawn carriages, intricate gowns, and the burgeoning popularity of parlor games and folk songs. The lyrics of their song read, "Here come three tinkers, three by three / To court your daughter fair lady / Oh, can we have a lodging here / And a supper, and a pint of beer?" The playful tune, sung with gusto, is a testament to the tradition of courtship through song and game. The boys, with their humble request for lodging and supper, are reminiscent of the tinkers from folklore, wandering minstrels who traveled from place to place, offering their music and skills in exchange for shelter and sustenance. The photograph, with its historical significance and charming narrative, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the simple joys of a bygone era. The image of the boys, with their roguish charm and the lady's intrigued expression, speaks to the universal language of music and the enduring appeal of folk tales. This print, with its rich history and captivating story, is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the past and the power of music to bring people together.
