EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures a comical scene from Edward Lear's renowned book of nonsense, published in 1875. The print depicts a young lady from Hull who finds herself being pursued by a ferocious bull. With its vivid colors and intricate details, the artwork brings to life the absurdity of the situation. The image showcases both humor and courage as the young lady defends herself against this wild animal. Armed with only a shovel, she valiantly fends off her pursuer, showing remarkable bravery in the face of danger. Lear's satirical drawing cleverly combines elements of attack and defense, creating an amusing anecdote that tickles our sense of humor. The limerick accompanying this illustration adds another layer to the story, further emphasizing its playful nature. It is clear that Lear intended to entertain his readers with these humorous rhymes and absurd scenarios. As we gaze upon this delightful piece of Victorian literature brought to life through illustration, we are transported back in time to an era where children's books were filled with wit and imagination. This print serves as a reminder of how storytelling can be both entertaining and educational for all ages.
