EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was an Old Lady of Prague, whose language was horribly vague". Published in A Book of Nonsense by Frederick Warne and Co. in London around 1875, this colourful print showcases Lear's unique blend of satire and humor. The illustration depicts a comical old lady from Prague, adorned with a traditional cap and surrounded by question marks. Her facial expression exudes curiosity as she ponders over her ambiguous words. The artist skillfully portrays the lady's equivocal nature through the clever use of text bubbles that float above her head. Lear's witty limericks were renowned for their playful rhymes and absurd scenarios, appealing to both children and adults alike. This particular verse highlights the humorous consequences that arise when communication becomes convoluted. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this lithograph transports viewers into a world where laughter reigns supreme. It serves as a delightful reminder of Lear's enduring legacy as one of Victorian literature's most beloved poets. Whether you are captivated by poetry or simply appreciate art that brings joy to your day, this charming print is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you lay eyes upon it.
