Cock Corn Farmer Jack Kissed Married Nursery Priest Rhymes Sowing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'House that Jack Built 2' by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an idyllic rural scene from an old English nursery rhyme. The image depicts a dedicated farmer in historical attire, meticulously sowing corn in a lush, fertile field. The intriguing title of this photograph alludes to the classic nursery rhyme 'The House that Jack Built,' which tells a whimsical tale of causality and interconnectedness. The farmer, with a determined look in his eyes, holds a sack of seeds in one hand and a hoe in the other, as he methodically plants each kernel in the rich, dark soil. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, highlighting the vibrant colors of the cornstalks and the verdant foliage. As the title suggests, this photograph is a visual representation of the first line of the rhyme, 'This is the house that Jack built.' However, the farmer in the image is not Jack, but rather the catalyst for the chain of events that follows in the rhyme. The cock, the priest, the man, the maiden, the cow, and the dog all make their appearances in the original rhyme, each one causing the next event to unfold. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and folklore that lies within the seemingly simple nursery rhyme. It invites us to ponder the deeper meaning behind the rhyme and to appreciate the intricate web of connections that binds each element together. With its charming depiction of rural life and its connection to an enduring piece of English literature, this photograph is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, folklore, or the simple pleasures of rural life.
