William Wallace Denslow, an American illustrator and caricaturist, is best known for his work on L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and his illustrations for nursery rhymes and children's literature. One of his notable contributions to children's literature is his illustrated edition of Mother Goose, published in 1901. The illustration titled Denslow’s Mother Goose Pl 43 is part of this collection, which features a series of vibrant and whimsical depictions of traditional nursery rhymes.

Denslow's Mother Goose was unique for its time due to the bold and colorful style of the illustrations, which were printed using a chromolithographic process. This technique allowed for rich, saturated colors that were particularly appealing to children. His artistic style is characterized by strong outlines, simplified forms, and a sense of humor that brought the nursery rhymes to life. These qualities made his work stand out among other illustrators of the era and contributed to the enduring popularity of his illustrations.

The plate numbered 43 in Denslow’s Mother Goose corresponds to one of the many nursery rhymes included in the book. Each plate in the collection typically features a single rhyme accompanied by an illustration that interprets the text in a playful and engaging manner. While the specific rhyme depicted in Plate 43 is not detailed here, it would have followed the same format, combining Denslow's distinctive artistic style with the traditional verse.

Denslow's work on Mother Goose reflects his broader contributions to the field of children's literature and illustration during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His ability to create visually striking and memorable images helped to define the visual language of children's books during this period. The success of Mother Goose and other works by Denslow cemented his reputation as one of the leading illustrators of his time.

Today, Denslow's illustrations are considered an important part of the history of American children's literature. They are appreciated not only for their artistic merit but also for their role in shaping the way nursery rhymes and children's stories were presented to young audiences. Original editions of Denslow’s Mother Goose and its individual plates, including Plate 43, are now sought after by collectors and are preserved in libraries and museums as examples of early 20th-century illustration.
