EDITORS COMMENTS
Sold Again! -- Humpty and Dumpty, the adorable twin rabbits, were once again changed hands in this quaint photograph from 1912. Dressed in their cozy white and grey fur, the tiny duo were sold for a mere penny each. Their mother had always boasted that they were worth their weight in gold, but the economic realities of the time dictated a more modest price. The image captures the hands of the buyer, holding out two pennies, ready to complete the transaction. This historical photograph showcases the simple joys of buying and selling, and the value placed on the smallest of creatures. Despite their modest price, Humpty and Dumpty brought joy to their new owner, and the memory of their sale has been preserved for over a century through this precious photograph.
