EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from a late-19th century American edition of Mother Goose's Melodies transports us back to the enchanting world of nursery rhymes. Titled "MOTHER GOOSE. There was an old woman went up in a basket" it depicts a whimsical scene that sparks our imagination. In this illustration, we see an old woman bravely ascending into the sky inside a woven basket. Clad in her traditional bonnet and holding onto a broomstick, she defies gravity with ease. The intricate details of the wood engraving bring out the texture of her dress and emphasize every line on her weathered face, revealing both strength and wisdom. As she floats higher into the clouds, we notice an unexpected visitor joining her journey—a spider gracefully spinning its web nearby. This subtle touch adds an element of surprise to the composition, reminding us that even in fantastical tales like those found in Mother Goose's Melodies, reality can intertwine with fiction. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this beloved English nursery rhyme while infusing it with their own interpretation. Through this print, we are transported to 19th century America where children eagerly flipped through pages filled with these timeless stories. This remarkable piece by The Granger Collection is not only a testament to artistic craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder that literature has no boundaries when it comes to capturing our hearts and minds across generations.
