EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Edward Lear's whimsical poem, "There was an Old Man of the Cape, who possessed a large Barbary Ape". Published in 1875 by Frederick Warne and Co. , this colorful lithograph transports us to a world where imagination runs wild. In this satirical drawing, we see an old man from the Cape proudly standing beside his prized possession - a large Barbary Ape. The image is filled with elements that evoke various emotions: anger, revenge, and even humor. The monkey's mischievous expression hints at its vengeful nature while also adding a touch of surrealism to the scene. Lear's limerick tells the tale of an eccentric character who finds companionship in an unusual pet. As we delve into this macabre yet humorous verse, we are reminded of the absurdity and creativity that can be found within literature. The illustration itself is beautifully detailed, showcasing Victorian-era aesthetics with its intricate lines and vibrant colors. It serves as both entertainment for children and adults alike, offering a glimpse into Lear's imaginative world. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, our minds wander through Ireland and Europe as we ponder on themes such as evil, vengeance, and even pyromania. This print truly encapsulates Lear's unique style of blending poetry with visual storytelling.
