EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Mother Hubbard: A Whimsical Portrayal of a Classic Nursery Rhyme by L.Wain This charming and enchanting photograph print by L.Wain, titled 'Old Mother Hubbard,' transports us back to the early 20th century and invites us to indulge in the delightful world of anthropomorphism. The image captures a woman, dressed in a traditional, flowing dress and wearing glasses or spectacles, as she leans forward with a determined expression on her face. In her hand, she holds a long, curved stick, reminiscent of the one mentioned in the classic nursery rhyme. However, this is no ordinary woman. Instead, she has been transformed into 'Old Mother Hubbard,' a beloved character from a popular nursery rhyme. The anthropomorphism of this image adds a playful and humanized touch to the tale, making it even more endearing and relatable. The scene is further enriched by the presence of a cat, perched on Old Mother Hubbard's back, observing her intently. The cat's ruff, or collar, is pulled up, adding a sense of regality and nobility to the animal. The overall effect is one of warmth, nostalgia, and wonder, transporting us to a simpler time. This photograph print, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a beautiful reminder of the power of imagination and the timeless appeal of nursery rhymes. It invites us to look at familiar stories in a new light and to appreciate the magic that can be found in the most unexpected places.
