Images and some text extracts from The Real Mother Goose published by Rand McNally & Co. in Chicago, 1919.

It turns out that there is also a Project Gutenberg edition of this book, although the images are rather small and seem too dark. Let me know if you would like me to scan any of the images.

The nursery rhymes are traditional, and were published under the name Blanche Fisher Wright; see the Artist link for more information about this enigmatic figure.
