Titled "Old Mother Twitchet had but one eye?", this riddle rhyme print dates back to circa 1917 and invites us to ponder the answer hidden within its quaint illustration. The scene depicts an elderly woman, Mother Twitchet, with a distinctive feature - she is shown with only one eye. However, the riddle's answer may surprise you. The solution to this age-old conundrum is "Needle and cotton." This answer may not be immediately apparent, but upon closer inspection, the single eye is revealed to be a sewing needle with a cotton thread threaded through it. This print is a delightful relic from a bygone era, reminding us of the rich history of riddles and their enduring appeal. Riddles have been a part of human culture for centuries, serving as a source of entertainment, intellectual stimulation, and even education.

The print's antique charm transports us to a simpler time, inviting us to ponder the riddle and appreciate the beauty of the illustration. This print is not only a visual treat but also a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring allure of riddles. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the minds of those who came before us and the traditions they held dear.
