EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in 1846, depicts the classic narrative of 'The Old Man of Nepaul' from Edward Lear's beloved collection of nonsense verses. The scene unfolds as the old man, who hailed from Nepaul, takes a fateful fall from his horse. The fall was indeed terrible, leaving the man split quite in two. But, as the verses go, the old man was mended by some very strong glue. This historical print brings to life the whimsical and fantastical world of Edward Lear, a British artist, author, and poet, who gained fame for his nonsense verse and limericks. Lear's works, including 'A Book of Nonsense' and 'More Nonsense,' were first published in the mid-19th century and continue to delight readers of all ages with their absurdity and wit. The image, which showcases the old man's split form and the horse that caused his fall, is a testament to the power of imagination and the healing properties of strong glue. The print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, invites viewers to step into the world of Lear's nonsense and lose themselves in its delightful absurdity. This piece of history is a must-have for any collector of Edward Lear's works, as well as for those who appreciate the art of the past and the power of a good story. The Old Man of Nepaul and his terrible fall serve as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, a little bit of strong glue can mend the most unimaginable splits.
