Illustrations from The Frog Who Would A Wooing Go (Boston, circa 1858)
The illustrator is not credited though I would like to see more of his or her proto-Mike-Judge cats. There have been countless reworkings of this traditional folk song. I recommend viewing Feodor Rojankovsky's illustrations for Frog Went A-Courtin while listening to Rowlf & Sam.
I again found this through the OBI Scrapbook Blog, who found it at archive.org (where you can see the whole book).

update: Chris at Dreamers Rise pointed out that H. L. Stephens [Cock Robin!] illustrated an edition around the same time. See it here (superior duck swallowing image below):
