"Three Jovial Huntsmen" is one of the picture books illustrated by the British artist Randolph Caldecott (1846–1886), a prominent figure in the development of children's literature during the Victorian era. Published in 1880 as part of a series that Caldecott produced annually for the Christmas market, "Three Jovial Huntsmen" is based on an old English nursery rhyme and showcases Caldecott's distinctive style and contribution to the art of book illustration.

The book is part of the celebrated "Randolph Caldecott's Picture Books" series, which were originally published by George Routledge & Sons and have since become classics in the world of children's literature. Caldecott's unique approach to illustration involved lively, sequential images that expanded on the simple text of the rhyme, effectively creating an early form of the picture book as we know it today. His work is noted for its dynamic characters, sense of humor, and the ability to convey movement and action, which brought the story of the three huntsmen to life.

"Three Jovial Huntsmen" tells the tale of three hunters who set out with their dogs with great enthusiasm but prove to be comically unsuccessful in their quest to catch anything. The repetitive and cumulative structure of the rhyme, combined with Caldecott's whimsical illustrations, made the book appealing to both children and adults. The huntsmen's repeated failures are depicted with a playful charm that became a hallmark of Caldecott's work.

Caldecott's influence on children's book illustration was profound, and his name is commemorated in the Caldecott Medal, awarded annually by the American Library Association to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. "Three Jovial Huntsmen," like many of Caldecott's works, remains a testament to his artistic skill and his lasting impact on the genre of picture books. The book is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a reflection of Victorian-era children's literature and its evolution.
