Bakers Bare Bone Bread Coffin Cupboard Dead Hubbard Joiners Laughing Nursery Poor Rhyme Rhymes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and slightly macabre print captures the classic nursery rhyme of Old Mother Hubbard in a whole new light. The image depicts Old Mother Hubbard, with her cupboard bare, as she goes to the baker's to buy some bread for her beloved dog. However, upon her return, she is met with a heartbreaking sight - her poor dog lying lifeless on the floor.
In a twist that is sure to surprise and delight viewers, Old Mother Hubbard then decides to go to the joiner's shop to purchase a coffin for her furry friend. But when she returns once again, instead of finding her dog still and somber in his final resting place, she is greeted by an unexpected sight - the poor dog was laughing!
This whimsical interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme brings a touch of humor and playfulness to what could otherwise be seen as a sad tale. The detailed illustration and rich colors used in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library truly bring this timeless story to life in a way that will captivate both children and adults alike.
