EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful lithograph captures the whimsical essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was an Old Person of Bray, who sang through the whole of the Day". The image depicts a charmingly eccentric elderly individual, known as the Old Person of Bray, joyfully belting out tunes from sunrise to sunset. Edward Lear's witty verse comes to life in this humorous illustration for More Nonsense. The artist skillfully portrays the amusing character with his exaggerated features and animated gestures. One can almost hear the melodic notes emanating from his open mouth as he serenades anyone within earshot. The lightheartedness and playfulness conveyed by this print are infectious. It reminds us to embrace our inner child and find joy in even the simplest pleasures. The Old Person of Bray serves as a reminder that age should never hinder one's ability to have fun or express oneself freely. This piece is not only a testament to Lear's mastery of literary nonsense but also highlights his talent as an illustrator. Through intricate engraving techniques, every line and detail adds depth and character to this comical scene. Whether you appreciate English literature or simply enjoy a good laugh, this lithograph is sure to bring a smile to your face. Its timeless humor transcends generations and continues to entertain audiences today.
