EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical lithograph by Edward Lear, titled "There was a Young Person in Red, who carefully covered her Head" we are transported into the world of limericks and nonsense verse. The image captures the essence of Lear's humorous writing style, as we see a young person dressed in vibrant red attire with their head completely concealed. The playful nature of the artwork is evident through the exaggerated depiction of the covered head. It leaves us wondering what could possibly be hiding underneath that mysterious red fabric. Perhaps it's a comically oversized hat or an absurdly elaborate hairstyle? Whatever it may be, Lear invites us to use our imagination and indulge in laughter. This print serves as an illustration for Lear's book "More Nonsense" published in 1888. Known for his mastery of limericks and wordplay, Lear continues to delight readers with his clever verses even today. His contributions to English literature have made him an iconic figure within literary circles. As we gaze upon this amusing scene captured through engraving techniques, we can't help but appreciate how art can bring joy and laughter into our lives. This delightful litho reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and encourages us to embrace the nonsensical side of life.
