Alphabet Entitled Kiddiewiddies Letters
EDITORS COMMENTS
J for Jug, from 'Kiddiewiddies ABC' (1920) This charming illustration is taken from 'Kiddiewiddies ABC,' a vintage rag book published in 1920. The letter 'J' is depicted as a cheerful jug, complete with a handle and spout, pouring out a stream of alphabet letters. The jug's face is expressive, with rosy cheeks and a mischievous grin, as if it's enjoying the process of sharing the letters with its young audience. Rag books, also known as alphabet books, were popular educational toys for children in the early 20th century. They were made from scraps of fabric, paper, and other materials, sewn together to create a book with each page featuring a different letter of the alphabet. These books were often handmade as gifts or souvenirs and served as an engaging way for children to learn the alphabet and develop their fine motor skills. The illustration style of 'Kiddiewiddies ABC' is reminiscent of the folk art movement, with simple shapes, bold colors, and a sense of whimsy. The jug character in this image is a delightful representation of the joy and playfulness that characterized these early educational materials. This print is a captivating piece of early 20th-century children's literature and art, offering a glimpse into the past and the ways in which children learned and played during this time period.
