Description
The first known publication of Humpty Dumpty was included in Juvenile Amusements by Samuel Arnold in 1797. In that version, the last lines read "Fourscore men and fourscore more / could not make Humpty Dumpty where he was before." Over the next century, the rhyme appeared in numerous books with variations on the lyrics.
These two were found in a merchant's display case in the kiosk area of Olvera Street, Los Angeles, California. There were many strange figures for sale, which all deserve recognition for being so.
