Antique Nursery Rhyme Milkmaid Cow Dogs Print c1887 FREE Shipping

Antique Print Cow Nursery Illustration ArtBeautiful illustration by the famous British illustrator Randolph Caldecott. Full of humour and character, his work greatly influenced illustration of children's books during the nineteenth century. "Caldecott was a fine literary artist, who was able to express himself with rare facility in pictures in place of words, so that his comments upon a simple text reveal endless subtleties of thought…. You have but to turn to any of his toy-books to see that at times each word, almost each syllable, inspired its own picture…. He studied his subject as no one else ever studied it…. Then he portrayed it simply and with inimitable vigor, with a fine economy of line and colour; when colour is added, it is mainly as a gay convention, and not closely imitative of nature." (Gleeson White). Quality colour printing by the celebrated Edmund Evans

An exceptionally beautiful illustration to the Nursery rhyme, "Where are you Going, my Pretty Maid?". The Squire dressed in thigh length boots and with a red feather in his cap is courting the Milkmaid. A wonderful white cow looks slightly bemused... Beautiful colouring from Edmund Evans and a rare print

This print would be lovely for a child's nursery
