EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical and enchanting color lithograph, titled "A cow bit off the thistle and swallowed poor Tom" we are transported into a world of nursery stories and imagination. Created by Leonard Leslie Brooke in the early 20th century, this print captures a moment of both humor and danger. The scene depicts a charming countryside setting with a young milkmaid tending to her cows. However, what initially seems like an ordinary day takes an unexpected turn as poor Tom Thumb finds himself in quite the predicament. As he innocently reaches for a thistle, one mischievous cow decides to take matters into its own mouth, biting off the prickly plant along with little Tom! Brooke's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the characters' costumes and expressions. The milkmaid's surprise is palpable as she witnesses this extraordinary event unfold before her eyes. Meanwhile, poor Tom appears both startled and determined as he disappears down the cow's throat. This delightful illustration is part of "The Golden Goose Book" published by Frederick Warne & Co. , which showcases timeless tales for children. It serves as a reminder that even in our most mundane moments, there can be unexpected adventures waiting just around the corner. With its vibrant colors and playful narrative, "A cow bit off the thistle" invites viewers of all ages to embrace their imagination while exploring classic nursery stories brought to life through artistry.
