Old Boniface He Loved Good Cheer - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration
Set in the medieval period, a man lies in bed with his pipe, a tankard of beer, wearing his nightcap but with no nightshirt, while his man-servant carries away his day clothes. The man, Old Boniface, is determined to keep comfortable in the rising heat by installing a barrel of Burton-brewed beer beside his bed.
" Old Boniface he loved good cheer - And drank his glass of Burton - And when the nights grew sultry hot - He slept without his shirt on."
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
