EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming coloured engraving captures a whimsical scene from the beloved nursery rhyme, "Simple Simon went a fishing". The 19th-century English School artist skillfully brings to life the comical tale of Simple Simon's ambitious quest to catch a whale with nothing but his mother's pail. In this delightful print, we see Simple Simon standing at the edge of a tranquil body of water, his eyes filled with determination. Clutching tightly onto his mother's pail, he gazes out into the vast expanse in search of his elusive prey. The contrast between Simon's small stature and the grandeur of his goal adds an endearing touch to this playful illustration. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as they expertly capture the essence of this humorous story. From Simon's wide-brimmed hat and patched trousers to the gentle ripples on the water's surface, each element contributes to creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports us back in time. This print was originally featured in "The Favourite Picture Book" published by Grant and Griffith around 1860. It serves as a testament to how timeless tales like Simple Simon continue to captivate audiences across generations. Whether displayed in a child's bedroom or cherished by collectors of historical art, this colourful engraving is sure to bring joy and nostalgia wherever it finds its place.
