EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was an Old Man with a nose, who said, If you choose to suppose". Published in A Book of Nonsense by Frederick Warne and Co. London around 1875, this colour lithograph showcases Lear's unique blend of satire and absurdity. The illustration depicts an elderly man proudly displaying his exceptionally long and curly nose. With exaggerated features and a defiant expression on his face, the old man challenges societal norms of beauty and conformity. Lear's playful use of text adds another layer to the artwork, emphasizing the deformity in a humorous way. As one explores this piece further, it becomes evident that it is not just a simple cartoon but rather an intricate work of literature brought to life through illustration. The Victorian era charm shines through as we are transported back in time to a world where rhymes and verses were cherished forms of entertainment for both children and adults alike. This image from Bridgeman Images invites us into the imaginative realm created by Edward Lear. It serves as a reminder that art can be found in unexpected places - even within the pages of a book filled with nonsense.
