EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming early 20th century photograph print captures the whimsical world of nursery rhymes, featuring two beloved characters: the Jolly Miller and Tom Thumb. Above the image, a sturdy man in a straw hat and overalls, identified as the Jolly Miller, is shown carrying a large sack over his shoulder as he leans against a mill by a babbling brook. The mill's waterwheel turns gently in the background, adding to the idyllic scene. Below the image, a woman in a floral apron sits at a small cottage table, her eyes fixed on the miniature spectacle unfolding before her. Tom Thumb, a diminutive figure, rides a tiny horse with a cat in tow. The horse's reins are held by a woman's hand, suggesting that Tom Thumb is being led in a playful game. The Jolly Miller rhyme dates back to the 18th century and tells the tale of a miller who, tired of his work, decides to take a day off and go a-maying. The rhyme describes him carrying his sack to the fair, while Tom Thumb, a popular figure from various nursery rhymes, is known for his small size and adventures. This photograph print, with its delightful depiction of these classic characters, offers a glimpse into the rich history of nursery rhymes and the imaginative world they create for children and adults alike.
