EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful early 20th century photograph print captures two beloved characters from the timeless collection of Nursery Rhymes: Old Mother Hubbard and Peter Piper. In the top image, Old Mother Hubbard, a plump and cheerful woman, is shown exiting a tavern, her arms laden with bottles of white and red wine. Upon her return, her faithful dog, an acrobat in his own right, greets her by standing on his head, adding a touch of whimsy to this everyday scene. Below, Peter Piper, with his mischievous grin, is seen in the midst of an unusual task: picking a peck of pickled peppers. The activity, however, is not as enjoyable as it seems. The powdered irritant from the peppers has gotten into his eyes, causing him to cry profusely. His red, watery eyes and unhappy expression convey the discomfort of the situation. These images offer a glimpse into the rich history of Nursery Rhymes, which have been passed down through generations and continue to captivate the imaginations of children and adults alike. The playful antics of Old Mother Hubbard and Peter Piper serve as a reminder of the simple joys and challenges that life can bring.
