Clean Cupboard Dish Hubbard Nursery Pipe Rhymes Stood Tavern Tripe Wine
EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Mother Hubbard: A Playful Tale of a Dog's Antics This charming print captures the whimsical scene from the classic nursery rhyme, "Old Mother Hubbard." In the image, Old Mother Hubbard is shown with a surprised expression as she returns home to find her faithful dog standing on his head, puffing on a pipe instead of the tripe she had intended to give him. The scene is filled with delightful details, such as the open cupboard revealing a haphazard arrangement of household items, and the tavern sign visible in the background. The rhyme, which has been passed down through generations, tells the story of Old Mother Hubbard's errands and the mischievous antics of her dog while she was away. Each line of the rhyme describes a different item Old Mother Hubbard intended to bring back for her dog, only to find him engaged in a different activity upon her return. The final line, "And when she came to the door, She found it open, and, to her great surprise, The dog was smoking a pipe, lolling on the floor," is depicted beautifully in this print. The rhyme's origins are unclear, but it has been a favorite among children for centuries, and this print is a delightful representation of the playful tale. The use of color and detail in the print brings the rhyme to life, making it a charming addition to any home or office.
