Date circa 1874
Description Oranges and Lemons
Details

Two children make an arch by holding hands, while the others pass beneath singing a song about the churches of London, at the last line the unlucky one has her head chopped off. 'Here comes a candle to light you to bed, and here comes a chopper to chop off your head'.
