Cock Robin Through Time #1: Nelson's Oil Colour Picture Books for the Nursery (1864)
This is the first in what I hope will be a series of posts, in which I shall be sharing a selection of illustrations for the Cock Robin story as they have appeared throughout history, a mixture of pieces I have acquired myself or examples I have found online. There are a surprising variety of iterations, though they mainly date to the Victorian era. In contrast, as far as I can tell, there does not appear to be a single modern illustrated version of the rhyme in print today.
