Cradle Hush Lullaby Nursery Rhyme Rhymes Sleep
EDITORS COMMENTS
Hush-a-bye Baby: A Timeless Nursery Rhyme Illustrated in a 20th Century Silhouette This evocative black-and-white print, titled 'Hush-a-bye baby, thy cradle is green,' transports us back to a simpler time, where the soothing lullaby of the same name once rocked generations of babies to sleep. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library/Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, showcases a traditional cradle, its red fabric contrasting against the cool, calming green hue of the background. The silhouette of a mother gently rocking the cradle, her figure barely discernible against the night sky, adds an air of mystery and intimacy to the scene. The gentle curve of her back and the slight tilt of her head suggest the tender care and love she bestows upon her sleeping infant. The cradle's delicate wheels, poised mid-spin, symbolize the rhythmic cadence of the lullaby, as the words 'hush-a-bye, don't you cry' echo through the stillness of the night. The nursery rhyme 'Hush-a-bye Baby' has its origins in the 18th or 19th century, and its melody has been passed down through generations, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries. The rhyme's calming words and rhythm have long been associated with the comforting embrace of sleep, offering solace and security to countless children throughout history. This print, with its hauntingly beautiful silhouette and evocative color palette, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of a simple lullaby to bring peace and tranquility to the world of a sleeping baby. The print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library/Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the timeless bond between a mother and her child.
