EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The fox jumps over the parsons gate" we are transported into a whimsical world of nursery rhymes and enchantment. Created by renowned artist Randolph Caldecott in the late 19th century, this image captures a moment of both excitement and trepidation. As our eyes wander across the scene, we see a young girl dressed in her finest attire, standing near an elegant lady on horseback. They watch with wide-eyed astonishment as a cunning fox gracefully leaps over the sturdy gate before them. The girl's face reflects both awe and fear, while the lady tries to maintain her composure amidst this unexpected encounter. Surrounding them are horsemen dressed in traditional hunting attire, their expressions mirroring a mix of amusement and surprise. In the distance, hounds eagerly join in on the chase as they pursue their elusive prey. This engraving is part of "The Hey Diddle Diddle Picture Book" published by Frederick Warne around the 1920s. It beautifully brings to life one of childhood's most beloved nursery rhymes through Caldecott's masterful artistry. "The fox jumps over the parsons gate" reminds us that even within familiar tales lies an element of unpredictability and adventure. Through its intricate details and timeless charm, this print continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first created over a century ago.
