Sing a Song of Sixpence - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
" 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!
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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
