About the series
A beloved nursery rhyme brought to life as a single illustrated sheet, Old Mother Hubbard and her Wonderful Dog was published by the London broadside printer Catnach in 1820. Though often attributed to Sarah Catherine Martin, this comic adaptation presents the classic tale of a resourceful woman and her famously empty cupboard. As one of the earliest examples of a printed comic narrative in England, it marks a charming, foundational moment in the history of sequential storytelling.
