1881 Caldecott Crime Hearts Knave Nursery Rhyme Tarts
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with this 1881 illustration of the Queen of Hearts from the Caldecott edition of the classic nursery rhyme. The Queen, an iconic character known for her fiery temper and love for playing croquet with flamingos and hedgehogs, is depicted here in all her regal glory. Surrounded by her loyal subjects, the playing cards, she demands the attention of the 7 of Hearts, or the Knave, who has allegedly stolen her tarts. The Queen's stern expression and commanding presence are brought to life by the skilled hand of an anonymous illustrator, whose work graced the pages of the Caldecott edition published by George Routledge and Sons in London. The intricate details of her elaborate headdress, adorned with hearts and roses, and the vibrant colors of her gown add to the enchanting atmosphere of this timeless tale. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of children's literature and the enduring appeal of Carroll's fantastical story. The Queen of Hearts' demand for the Knave to answer for his crime sets the stage for one of the most memorable scenes in the narrative, as Alice finds herself caught up in the chaos of Wonderland's peculiar inhabitants. As you admire the intricacies of this charming print, allow yourself to be transported to a world of wonder and adventure, where the impossible becomes possible, and the Queen of Hearts reigns supreme.
