I love the online "libraries" on the web, especially the Project Gutenberg where I found a book by the illustrator and caricaturist W.W. Denslow. The pictures in his Mother Goose book from 1901 are just beautiful.
And I fell in love with his 1903 version of Humpty Dumpty, a book not part of the Project Gutenberg though. He spinned a story from the orignial nursery rhyme, made the unfortunate Humpty Dumpty to "Old Humpty," the father of this children books main charater Humpty Dumpty a wandering ministrel who travelles the world as the "hard boiled" version that learned from his father's raw egg foolishness. ..
My Redwork designs are adapted from Denslow's Humpty Dumpty illustrations.
