EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the famous character of the Old Person from Gretna, as depicted in Edward Lear's beloved poem "There was an Old Person from Gretna." The image shows the old man in a determined stance, seemingly unfazed as he rushes down the fiery crater of Mount Etna. The backdrop of the active volcano, with its molten lava and billowing smoke, adds a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The Old Person from Gretna is a character from a series of nonsense verses that Edward Lear first published in 1846. These whimsical poems, filled with absurd situations and fantastical creatures, quickly gained popularity and have since become a staple of children's literature. In this particular verse, the old man's unexpected response to the question of the heat of the crater adds a touch of humor and wit to the narrative. The historical significance of this print lies in its connection to Edward Lear and his contributions to literature. Lear was a prolific artist and writer, known for his illustrations and nonsense verses. His works, including "A Book of Nonsense" and "More Nonsense," continue to be cherished by readers of all ages for their imaginative storytelling and playful sense of humor. This print, with its intriguing subject matter and rich history, would make a wonderful addition to any collection of literary or historical art. Whether displayed in a home, office, or library, it is sure to spark curiosity and delight those who encounter it.
