Description:

A young girl in a blue dress and poke bonnet stands on one leg in a meadow, her face obscured by the bonnet’s brim. The rhyme reads as follows:

Little Betty Blue,
Lost her holiday shoe.
What will poor Betty do?
Why, give her another,
To match the other,
And then she will walk in two.
