EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming early 20th century Snap card featuring the beloved nursery rhyme character, Little Bo-Peep. In this vintage image, Bo-Peep, dressed in a red and green gown, is depicted as a sad and unhappy shepherdess, with a concerned expression on her face. She carries a crook or hook in one hand, perhaps to help her find her lost flock. Surrounding Bo-Peep are various elements of the rural countryside, including rolling green fields, a fence, and a stile. A dog, possibly her faithful companion, howls in the background, adding to the sense of loss and longing. The scene is idyllic yet poignant, capturing the essence of the classic nursery rhyme. The Snap card format, a popular parlor game in the late 1800s and early 1900s, involved players snapping the card out of the hand of the person to their left as they said a phrase or rhyme. This Little Bo-Peep Snap card would have provided hours of entertainment for girls and boys alike, as they played and sang the familiar rhyme together. This beautiful and nostalgic image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple joys of childhood. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of nursery rhymes and the memories they evoke.
