Why Just read a Poem when you can solve it?
These "hieroglyphics" were printed in 1849, as a fun twist on a book of Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Try to figure out the original words of the rhyme based on the pictures used to represent them. Click on the link below each picture to see the answers. We'll be posting a new puzzle every week, so check back!
Do you have a favorite poem? Try to create a version with some of the words as pictures (or all of them as pictures! The world is your oyster!) Share yours at @HistoricNorthampton on Facebook, @historic.northampton on Instagram and @northamphistory on Twitter, or emailed to us at [email protected].
We’d love to see what you create and share it so others can solve!
