VAUGHN RAWSON, “THE WHIMSICAL WHITTLER”, WOOD CARVING, “TO MARKET, TO MARKET”

Description: Hand carved and hand painted by Vaughn and Stephanie Rawson, this carving of “To Market, To Market” originates from a child’s nursery rhyme about the joy of a trip to the market to make a desired purchase. It first appeared in 1598 in “A Worlde of Wordes”, an Italian-English dictionary and then appeared in 1805 in “Songs for the Nursery”. This little guy has acquired for himself a jolly fat pig and is skipping home to throw it on the pit. The carving is part of a series of nursery rhymes that Vaughn and Stephanie created in 1992 at their home in Wisconsin. It is a fine example of their talents even in miniature.
