EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical lithograph by Edward Lear, we are transported into the peculiar world of an Old Person of Grange. With his scroobious and strange manners, he is a character that defies convention and embraces the absurd. Lear's illustration captures the essence of this limerick from his book "More Nonsense" published in 1888. The image shows the Old Person of Grange in all his eccentric glory, with exaggerated features and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. His outlandish behavior is beautifully depicted through intricate details, showcasing Lear's mastery as an artist. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but chuckle at the sheer silliness of it all. It reminds us to embrace our own quirks and not take ourselves too seriously. The limerick itself serves as a reminder that humor has no boundaries and can be found even in the most unexpected places. This piece is a delightful addition to any collection or space where laughter is cherished. It invites us to escape reality for a moment and revel in the joyous nonsense that only Lear could create. So let us raise our glasses to this old person with scroobious manners - may we all find inspiration in their unabashed strangeness!
