Happy May Day! This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o' the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day. Wearing a conical or pyramidal wicker or wooden frame covered in foliage so as to conceal the wearer, the Jack-in-the-Green leads a May Day procession, dancing often with musicians and other figures. 🧡1/2

Historically his riotous entourage might have included a Lord and Lady, jesters, clowns, chimney sweeps and musicians. Modern celebrations often feature Morris dancers and green clad revelers. Time to celebrate that winter is finally over (in this hemisphere at least) and plants are sprouting!
