A story in verse about Mother Goose and her son, Jack, who buys a goose that lays golden eggs.
Leaf 5 depicts Jack selling his golden egg "to a rogue of a Jew, who cheated him out of the half of his due" and describes his courtship of a lady "sweet as the May".
Leaf 6 depicts Mother Goose turning Jack into the Harlequin to save him from the attacks of the Jew and the lady's father, the Squire. |
| Contextual Notes | An Archibald Park was operating at 47 Leonard Street, Finsbury, London, from 1836-41, but the work might also have been published by Alexander Park (perhaps Archibald's son) who occupied the same premises from 1842-1863. |
