- Source: The Three Jovial Huntsmen
The Three Jovial Huntsmen (1880) was a popular British picture book illustrated by Randolph Caldecott, engraved and printed by Edmund Evans and published by George Routledge & Sons in London. The toy book, which is a variant of the folklore song The Three Huntsmen (sometimes called the Three Jolly Huntsmen), was well-received, selling tens of thousands of copies.
The three droll equestrians featured in the book are featured as the logo of the Horn Book Magazine. In 1914, four colour pictures from the book were reproduced by Frederick Warne & Co as postcards.
The story was also noted for using the word "powlert" which was not defined in either the Oxford English Dictionary or Century Dictionary.
