GENERAL INFORMATION. In 1949 Prescott Baston designed three nursery rhymes for "in the round." They were planned to be placed on music boxes where they would rotate while a tune would play. The plan never worked with the music box supplier and Baston sold them as popular figurines for over 30 years.
In this remarkable child's figurine, we see a cat and a fiddle and a cow, unsuccessfully attempting to jump over the moon. The little dog is laughing to see such sport and the dish is running away with the spoon.From The Sebastian Miniature Collection by Dr. Glenn S. Johnson.
