For Want of a Nail the Shoe Was Lost
Times of Crisis - Little Things Count
In their illustration of this simple rhyme, the Provensens have created
a form of story board stills. The first two scenes are in full block panels,
each depicting two sets of consequences and clearly connecting the rhyme
with its explicit war motif. The two half-block panels which follow serve
to depict a) the final scene, with rider looking up to the kingdom which
has now been lost and b) the single horseshoe nail, the root of the problem,
with ultimately the "moral" of the rhyme.
