A Haunting Tale of Lear and the Cape: An Illustration from a 19th Century Nonsense Book This evocative image, published in 1846, depicts an old man, huddled in the foreground, as his house on the cape burns in the background. The old man, with a look of disbelief and despair on his face, clutches a large book close to his chest, as if seeking solace or answers in its pages. In the distance, a large Barbary ape, the source of the calamity, can be seen perched on a tree branch, watching the scene unfold with a smirk. The scene is inspired by Edward Lear's popular nonsense verse, "There was an Old Man of the Cape," which tells the tale of an old man who possessed a large Barbary ape. One dark night, the ape set the house alight, leaving the old man in ruins. This whimsical yet unsettling verse, first published in 1846, was part of a collection of nonsense poems and illustrations that captured the imagination of readers and continues to do so to this day. The illustration, with its dark and moody atmosphere, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Lear's verse, transporting us to a time and place where the fantastical and the mundane collide. The old man's house, once a symbol of comfort and security, is now reduced to ashes, while the old man himself remains a tragic yet intriguing figure, clinging to the remnants of his past. This image, with its historical significance and timeless appeal, is a must-have for any collector of antique prints, folklore, or nonsense literature. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a story to be told, a lesson to be learned, and a reason to keep turning the pages.
