EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical lithograph by Edward Lear, we are introduced to the comical character of an Old Person of Deal. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a spring in his step, this eccentric individual has adopted a rather peculiar way of walking - using only his heel! As he strolls along the cobblestone streets of Deal, he leaves onlookers bewildered and amused. Lear's limerick-inspired artwork captures the essence of nonsense and humor that permeates English literature. His playful verse comes alive through this delightful illustration, which was originally published in More Nonsense. The artist's mastery is evident as he skillfully brings together wit and visual storytelling. The engraving technique adds depth to the image, emphasizing every line and curve with precision. Each stroke seems to echo the laughter that surely accompanies our protagonist's unconventional gait. This print transports us into a world where imagination reigns supreme, reminding us not to take life too seriously. It invites us to embrace silliness and revel in moments of pure joy. So let us join this Old Person of Deal on his uniquely amusing journey as he walks confidently forward with nothing but his trusty heel for support!
