Poem Puzzle: Dance, Little Baby
6C Children’s Cardboard Puzzle. All pieces intact. 1905-1925
Notes
This children’s cardboard jigsaw puzzle likely dates to the early 20th century, approximately between 1905 and 1925. The use of traditional English rhymes such as “Dance, Little Baby,” along with the period costume and pastoral imagery, reflects late Victorian and Edwardian children’s publishing tastes. It was most likely made in England or in the United States by a publisher drawing heavily on British nursery imagery, as was common among early American children’s book and puzzle manufacturers in cities such as London, New York, or Boston during this period.
Description
Chromolithographed nursery-rhyme illustration. Muted Edwardian color palette. Large, irregular hand-cut puzzle pieces predating later machine die-cutting
