1846 Carry Conduct Hired Lear Nonsense Nose Reached Steady Toes Wonderful
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Whimsical Tale of Noses and Old Ladies: A Journey Through the World of Edward Lear's Nonsense Verse This delightful print, published in 1846, captures the essence of Edward Lear's beloved nonsense verse, as depicted in the timeless tale of "There was a Young Lady whose nose, was so long that it reached to her toes." The young lady, with her long, expressive face and quizzical gaze, is shown in a state of wonderment as she contemplates the extraordinary length of her nose. The solution to her dilemma comes in the form of an old lady, whose steady conduct and unwavering composure are evident in her regal posture and serene expression. Clad in traditional Victorian attire, she cradles the young lady's nose in one hand, while the other hand holds open a book, filled with more of Lear's fantastical verses. This charming image, with its historical significance and wonderful sense of whimsy, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Edward Lear's nonsensical world. His playful verses, filled with absurdity and humor, continue to captivate readers of all ages and have been a source of inspiration for generations. First published in 1846, Lear's "Book of Nonsense" introduced the world to his unique brand of nonsense verse, which would go on to influence a wide range of artists, writers, and musicians. This print, with its intricate detail and vivid colors, is a treasure from the annals of literary history and a reminder of the power of the imagination to transport us to far-off lands and fantastic realms.
