Monday's Child is Fair of Face
Single Image, Separate Selves - The Boys Outnumber the Girls
This is a single image containing all seven of the characters from the
rhyme. They follow the line of a long curved sidewalk from left to right
with only Thursday's child with "far to go" ”off the walk
wearing a backpack and bending in the wind. Here there are four boys and
three girls with one of the most interesting characters being Saturday's
child who “must work for his living. ”He is pictured as a
visual allusion to Tom Sawyer painting the fence, making more sophisticated
viewers wonder if he will really do his own work. the final character,
apparently also a boy, is obviously elated with arms flung out, head back,
and fingers stretched toward the sky.
