EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was an old man with a beard, who said, It is just as I feared!". The image comes from A Book of Nonsense, published by Frederick Warne and Co. in London around 1875. In this colorful lithograph, Lear's satirical cartoon depicts an elderly man with a long and unruly beard expressing his fears. The bearded gentleman appears both perplexed and alarmed by something he has encountered. Surrounding him are various elements that add to the whimsical nature of the scene. The artist's use of satire is evident in this scathing commentary on society. With its surreal and bizarre composition, the illustration combines humor and absurdity seamlessly. Owls perch on branches while birds nestle within the man's facial hair, creating a sense of surprise and wonder. Lear's mastery of rhyme and verse shines through in this piece as well. His cleverly crafted limericks have entertained generations of readers with their playful language and memorable characters. This print not only showcases Lear's talent but also serves as a reminder of Victorian literature for children. Its vibrant colors and imaginative imagery make it a delightful addition to any art collection or literary enthusiast's home decor.
