EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming turn-of-the-century print captures the whimsical tale of Mother Hubbard as she returns from the barber's shop with a new wig for her husband. The old couple's playful dance in the nursery setting is a delightful rendition of the classic rhyme that has been passed down through generations. Mother Hubbard, a beloved character from English folklore, is depicted here in her traditional attire - a long, voluminous dress, a white apron, and a bonnet adorned with flowers. Her husband, dressed in a simple smock and wearing his new wig, is seen in the midst of a lively jig, his feet off the ground and his arms outstretched in joy. The scene is set in a cozy nursery, with toys and children's books scattered around, adding to the sense of warmth and nostalgia. The barber, who is shown in the background, is engrossed in his work, oblivious to the joyful dance unfolding before him. This print, which dates back to the 1890s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Mother Hubbard and her husband's jig. The rhyme, with its simple yet catchy rhythm, has been a favorite among children for generations, and this print beautifully captures the essence of the story in a visual format. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the print further adds to its charm, making it a must-have for anyone who appreciates the richness of folklore and the joy of nursery rhymes.
