This charming and whimsical Rag Animal Alphabet wall hanging, dating back to circa 1905, is an intriguing example of early 20th-century folk art. The linen canvas is adorned with a delightful assortment of handcrafted rag animals, each one meticulously formed to represent a letter of the alphabet. The animals are not only visually appealing but also serve as a fun and educational tool for children. The exact origins of this piece are unknown, making it all the more intriguing. It is believed to have been created as a homemade decoration for a child's bedroom or playroom. The use of natural fibers, such as linen and rags, adds to its rustic charm and authenticity.

The Rag Animal Alphabet wall hanging is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the past. It is a reminder of a time when handmade items held great value and were cherished for their unique character and sentimental worth. The use of simple, natural materials and the time and effort put into creating each animal make this piece a true work of art.
