Antique "Polly Put the Kettle On" Nursery Rhyme Print
This is an exquisitely detailed color plate of the early works by Dutch children's illustrator, Henriette Willebeek Le Mair. This image was salvaged from a First Edition, First Printing of her 1911 nursery rhyme song book. This classic illustration is rendered in softly muted, understated pastel colors and placed within 2 large panels designed like intertwine ovals with a floral border. The 1911 book consisted of 30 nursery rhymes with the music and on each opposite page and epitomizes Le Mair's sophisticated stylings. ABOUT Henriette Willebeek Le Mair [Dutch. Children's Illustrator. b.23 Apr 1889 - d. 1966] Le Mair began publishing at quite a young age. Her first book, Premieres Rondes Enfantines (1904), was published in France when she was just 15 years old. She collaborated with her mother on three books of verse when she was 16 years old and her mother wrote the text and Henrietta illustrated them. She was especially active in illustration during 1911-17. Le Mair adopted the name "SAIDA" when she married H.P. Baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken in 1920. The newlywed couple converted to Sufism, a religion of universal brotherhood and love. The couple soon committed to helping the poor and contributing to charitable causes. They eventually set up their home in The Hague.
