EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print captures a whimsical scene from Edward Lear's A Book of Nonsense, published in London around 1875. The illustration depicts the comical limerick "There was a Young Lady of Clare, who was madly pursued by a Bear". In this satirical drawing, we see an exhausted young lady desperately fleeing from a hungry bear through the wild landscapes of Ireland. The artist skillfully portrays the sense of urgency and humor in this macabre chase. With vibrant colors and intricate details, he brings to life Lear's witty poem that has been enjoyed by generations. The woman's expression reveals her fear as she tries to outpace her predator, while the bear appears determined and relentless in its pursuit. This playful artwork combines elements of Victorian literature with humorous illustrations, making it appealing to both children and adults alike. It showcases Lear's talent for crafting engaging rhymes that captivate readers with their clever wordplay. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the world of nonsense poetry where anything is possible. It serves as a reminder that art can bring joy and laughter even in the face of danger or adversity.
