Flute Fruiterer Hubbard Humans Nursery Rhymes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 1890s photograph captures the whimsical scene of Mother Hubbard, an old woman known from nursery rhymes, making a visit to the fruiterer. Dressed in her traditional long, shapeless dress and a wide-brimmed hat, Mother Hubbard can be seen with a basket in hand, ready to purchase some fresh fruits for her home. However, upon her return, she finds an unexpected surprise. Instead of finding her husband, who is typically depicted in the rhyme, Mother Hubbard encounters him playing a flute instead. The image, filled with warmth and humor, showcases the playful and lighthearted nature of this classic rhyme. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, offers a glimpse into the past and the simple joys of everyday life. The timeless tale of Mother Hubbard and her husband's antics continues to amuse and delight, making this photograph a cherished piece of history and a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling.
