`Mother Goose` statue with `Snow Babies` in the background at the entrance to the Rumsey Playground, Central Park, New York City

Pictured is a stone statue by Frederick George Richard Roth titled `Mother Goose` at the entrance to the Mary Harriman Rumsey Playground in Central Park, New York City. The statue consists of the central figure of a witch astride a goose, surrounded by bas-reliefs of Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Little Jack Horner, Mother Hubbard, and Mary and her little lamb. Roth and a team of craftsmen carved this work of art from a 13-ton piece of Westerly granite. In the background are two stone figures on top of gateposts titled `Snow Babies`. All three stone sculptures were dedicated in 1938
