Humpty Dumpty

Was Humpty Dumpty Really an Innocent Schoolboy? Did His Fall Have Anything To Do with the Soldier Arriving with Sword Drawn?

ECLIPSE Image Number 00150000

This framed vertical triptych with two smaller, and more elaborate, side panels develops the character of this Humpty Dumpty and makes viewers care about him and his disappearance from the final framed illustration. Soft but bright colors, fine lines, shading, and many details bring this brief story to life.
