Little Tom Twig Bought a Fine Bow and Arrow - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
A naughty boy dressed in medieval attire has just bought himself a nice new bow and arrow but has committed the offence of shooting a sparrow dead. The miscreant has therefore earned the displeasure of a lady armed with a besom and a firm right hand with which she is propelling him by the ear to the scene of the crime.
" Little Tom Twig - Bought a fine bow and arrow - And what did he shoot? - Why a poor little sparrow - Oh fie little Tom! - With your fine bow and arrow - How cruel to shoot at - A poor little sparrow."
From " Nursery Rhymes - Ridicula Rediviva" illustrated by J.E. Rogers, with chromolith printing by R. Clay Sons & Taylor and published in London in 1876 by Macmillan and Co
