See-Saw" [from MOTHER GOOSE]

n.p.: n.p., [19th century]. Very good.. Bright Victorian children's textile depicting a classic Mother Goose rhyme, "See-Saw, Margery Daw." This decorative textile illustrates a Mother Goose scene in action: "See saw, Margery Daw, / Jacky shall have a new master: / Jacky must have but a penny a day / Because he can work no faster." The central vignette shows little boys playing on an ad-hoc see-saw created out of logs. Smaller vignettes in each corner show other children's games in action: flying a kite, playing soccer, playing cricket, and shooting marbles. An attractive survival. 11'' x 12.25''. Single square printed in red and black. Faint central area of browning, overall a bit toned, else clean and unfrayed.
