This amazing illustration comes directly from the weathered, antiqued pages of an early 1900's (1920's?) book of Nursery Rhymes, published by M.A. Donohue of Chicago. It is a poem that cryptically assigns an old nursery rhyme to each letter of the alphabet. See if you can name each tale by the hints given in the poem! Here it is in full...

A was the Archer who shot at a frog.

B was Bo-peep, with her crook and her dog.

C was the cow that jumped over the moon.

D was the Dish that ran off with the spoon.

E was Elizabeth, Betsey, and Bess.

F was the Forest where stood the bird’s-nest.

G Gaffer Longlegs, downstairs he’d a fall.

H Humpty Dumpty that sat on a wall.

I was the “I” who was going to St. Ives.

J Jacky Horner, on plum-pie he thrives.

K was King Cole with the fiddlers three.

L Little Gold-Hair, peeping, you see.

M Mother Hubbard who thought her dog dead.

N Little Netticoat, with a red head.

O the old Woman, “upon market day;”

P was the “Pedlar” who passed by that way.

Q was the Queen of Hearts, tartlets she makes.

R was Red Riding Hood carrying the cakes.

S Simple Simon, the pieman beside.

T Tommy Tucker, for supper who cried.

U was the Unicorn, “beat round the town;”

V was Victoria – he fought for her crown.

W Whittington, who turned again,

Over great London as Lord Mayor to reign.

X is a letter that here we can spare.

Y “Yankee Doodle,” that went to the fair;

Z is the Zany who laughed at him there.
