"Mother Goose, frontispiece of Mother Goose The Old Nursery Rhymes" is a notable illustration by the renowned English book illustrator Arthur Rackham, created for the 1913 edition of "Mother Goose: The Old Nursery Rhymes," published by William Heinemann. This work is part of a larger collection of traditional nursery rhymes that were compiled, edited, and illustrated by Rackham, who was celebrated for his distinctive style and contributions to the Golden Age of Illustration. The frontispiece, which serves as the book's principal illustration, typically depicts the character of Mother Goose, who has become synonymous with the collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes that bear her name.

Arthur Rackham's interpretation of Mother Goose for the frontispiece is characterized by his intricate line work, delicate watercolor washes, and a whimsical yet slightly eerie quality that was a hallmark of his illustrations. His portrayal of Mother Goose often captures her as an elderly woman riding a gander, which is a common motif associated with the character. The 1913 edition of "Mother Goose: The Old Nursery Rhymes" is considered a classic of children's literature and Rackham's illustrations have been instrumental in shaping the visual standard for these traditional stories.

Rackham's work during this period was highly influential, and his illustrations for "Mother Goose" are regarded as some of his finest contributions to the genre of children's illustrated books. The frontispiece, along with the other illustrations in the collection, showcases Rackham's ability to bring to life the whimsy, fantasy, and sometimes the darkness found within the text of the nursery rhymes. His artistic legacy continues to be celebrated, and the 1913 edition of "Mother Goose" remains a treasured example of his work, appealing to both children and adults for its artistic merit and nostalgic value.
