EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph, titled "There was an Old Man who supposed that the street door was partially closed" captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick from his book A Book of Nonsense. Published in London around 1875, this colourful print showcases Lear's unique blend of absurdity and wit. In this satirical drawing, we see an elderly gentleman dressed in a coat and hat, peacefully dozing off at his dining table. Unbeknownst to him, a group of mischievous rats have taken advantage of his momentary slumber to invade his meal. The surreal scene is filled with bizarre elements such as giant rodents feasting on the man's food while he remains blissfully unaware. Lear's clever use of rhyme and verse adds another layer to this humorous illustration. His playful poetry brings life to these peculiar characters and their comical antics. Through his rhymes, he invites readers into a world where vermin become pests worthy of attention and laughter. This delightful lithograph not only appeals to children but also captivates adults with its intricate details and Victorian charm. It serves as a testament to Lear's skill as both an illustrator and poet, showcasing his ability to create captivating narratives through visual art. With its vivid colours and imaginative storytelling, this print is sure to bring joy and amusement wherever it is displayed.
