EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical colored engraving titled "There was an Old Person in Black, a Grasshopper jumped on his back" captures the playful and humorous spirit of Edward Lear's poetry. The image depicts an elderly person dressed in black, looking over their shoulder with a mixture of fear and surprise as a grasshopper lands on their back.
The satirical cartoon is filled with humor and wit, showcasing Lear's talent for creating lighthearted and entertaining verses. The contemporary hand coloring adds to the charm of the illustration, bringing the scene to life with vibrant colors.
As we gaze upon this comical depiction, we can't help but be drawn into the world of nonsense poetry that Lear so masterfully crafted. The exaggerated expressions and exaggerated features of both the old person and the grasshopper add to the overall sense of playfulness in this artwork.
Through this delightful engraving, we are reminded of the joy that can be found in embracing our inner child and allowing ourselves to laugh at life's absurdities. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it's okay to let go of seriousness and simply enjoy a moment of pure silliness.
