EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph titled "Old Boniface he loved good cheer" transports us to a bygone era filled with stories, laughter, and merriment. The image depicts an old man named Boniface, who is known for his love of good food and drink. Dressed in a traditional shirt, he sits at a table with a glass in hand, ready to indulge in the pleasures of life. The scene evokes the atmosphere of nights spent listening to tales and sharing hearty meals. As the sultry rhyme goes, Old Boniface grew up drinking and sleeping well while enjoying the company of others. This illustration was created as part of J E Rogers' book "Nursery Rhymes, Ridicula Rediviva" published in 1876. The artist's attention to detail brings this storybook character to life. The colors are rich and vividly portray the warmth that emanates from Old Boniface's cheerful personality. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into German culture during the 19th century when storytelling held great importance for children's education. This print serves as both an enchanting visual delight and a reminder of how simple joys like good cheer can bring people together across time and cultures. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found within nursery rhymes while celebrating our shared human experiences throughout history.
