EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of this early 20th century Snap card featuring the beloved nursery rhyme, "Rub-A-Dub-Dub." In this playful scene, three men, dressed in colorful attire, are seen having a lively time in a large washtub. The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker, each holding a distinctive item - a cleaver, a loaf of bread, and a candlestick respectively - appear to be rowing the tub as if it were a boat. The men's expressions are filled with joy and amusement, adding to the comic and nonsensical nature of the rhyme. The tub, adorned with red and green stripes, sits atop a wooden mast, complete with a sail and a spoon as a makeshift oar. The men's clothing and the tub's design reflect the vibrant and humorous spirit of the game. The Snap cards, a popular pastime in the late 1800s and early 1900s, were often used to bring a touch of fun and nonsense to social gatherings. This charming snapshot of "Rub-A-Dub-Dub" offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures and the power of a good laugh. The image, captured by Terry Parker and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful reminder of the enduring appeal of nursery rhymes and the joy they bring to generations.
