EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print depicts the beloved character Dick Whittington, a hero from a traditional English nursery rhyme that has captivated the imagination of children for generations. The image, which dates back to circa 1939, is taken from a collection of nursery rhymes published by Deans Rag Books, a popular source of entertainment and education for young readers during the early to mid-20th century. Dick Whittington, a young boy from the city of London, embarks on a thrilling adventure in search of wealth and fame. Armed with nothing but his cat, he sets sail for the far-off land of the Magpie, where he hopes to make his fortune. Along the way, he encounters various challenges and obstacles, but with the help of his faithful companion, he overcomes them all. The print captures the essence of Dick Whittington's spirit of adventure and determination. The illustration shows Dick, dressed in a blue shirt and breeches, standing confidently on the deck of a ship, with his cat perched on his shoulder, gazing out at the vast expanse of the sea before them. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of the port, with sailors loading cargo and ships setting sail. The print is a beautiful example of the illustrative style of the time, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the story to life. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dick Whittington and the magic of nursery rhymes, which continue to inspire and delight children and adults alike.
