EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "There was a Young Girl of Majorca," is a delightful illustration from the 1846 publication of Edward Lear's "Book of Nonsense." The whimsical verse tells the story of a young girl from Majorca, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, who is astonished by the speed and agility of her aunt. The illustration showcases the vibrant and playful style of Lear's work, which has captivated readers of all ages for generations. In the image, the young girl, dressed in traditional Majorcan attire, looks on in amazement as her aunt, also dressed in local garb, leaps over a stile with ease. The aunt, a tall and slender figure, has already covered an impressive 70 miles, leaving the young girl in awe of her abilities. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, adding to the sense of wonder and enchantment. Published just a few years after the first edition of "A Book of Nonsense" was released in 1846, this illustration is a testament to the enduring popularity of Lear's nonsense verse. The verses, which often featured fantastical creatures and absurd situations, were a departure from the more serious and didactic children's literature of the time. Instead, they offered a chance for readers to escape into a world of pure imagination and delight. Today, this illustration remains a beloved piece of literary and artistic history, and a reminder of the power of the written word to transport us to far-off lands and fantastical worlds.
