"Illustrator Frederick Richardson (1862-1937) began his career in newspapers. He had a regularly featured spot in Saturday editions of the Chicago Daily News for his political cartoons and social commentary. Richardson left newspapers behind in the early 1900's, and spent the next thirty years providing illustrations for magazines and children's books."
These pictures bring out the nostalgia in me. They remind me of a different time and feeling to childhood.
There is also this link to audio versions of some of the rhymes. They are very well done.
