EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Lear's "Nonsense Alphabet - R" from 1860. Created with pen and ink on blue paper backed with linen, this artwork measures 31.7x20.5 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. Lear, a renowned English artist and writer (1812-88), was known for his whimsical illustrations and humorous poetry. This particular piece was drawn on June 22,1860, as a gift for one of the grandchildren of WG Prescott. The image features an adorable rabbit engaging in some mischievous behavior that perfectly captures Lear's playful style. The chubby bunny seems to be up to no good, adding an element of naughtiness to the composition. With its cute depiction of animals and clever use of rhyme and verse, this artwork exemplifies Lear's talent for creating children's books that entertained both young readers and adults alike during the Victorian era. The Nonsense Alphabet series by Edward Lear remains a beloved part of Western art history due to its unique blend of humor, creativity, and artistic skill. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail while immersing themselves in Lear's world of nonsensical delight.
