1933 Boiled Calendar Chick Dumpty Hard Humpty Iris Lying Nursery Rhyme Safe Skinny Tear Thin Verse

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage calendar design from 1933, featuring the beloved nursery rhyme character Humpty Dumpty, is an intriguing blend of whimsy and practicality. The image captures Humpty Dumpty in an unexpected setting, lying safely on the ground after his famous fall from the wall. Contrary to the rhyme's ominous prediction, Humpty Dumpty's hard-boiled exterior has saved him from harm, leaving him unscathed and unbroken. The calendar's intricate design is reminiscent of the Art Deco era, with its thin, elegant lines and intricate detailing. The iris and chick, delicately placed at the bottom left corner, add a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise abstract design. The calendar's date, June 1933, is prominently displayed at the top, with the numbers neatly arranged in a circular pattern, framed by the intricate border. Despite the fall, Humpty Dumpty's thin, skinny silhouette remains intact, adding to the playful and lighthearted nature of the design. The use of the rhyme's verse, "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall," adds a touch of nostalgia and familiarity, making this calendar a delightful addition to any home or office. This calendar design, with its unique blend of humor and artistry, is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic nursery rhymes and the creative spirit of the 1930s. Whether you're a fan of vintage design, nursery rhymes, or simply looking for a unique and charming addition to your decor, this Humpty Dumpty calendar design is sure to bring a smile to your face.
