1846 Ceased Lear Nonsense Turned Capricious Murky Wept
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a young, turbaned Turkish lady, lost in thought as she gazes out of a window, her expression reflecting the moody weather outside. The verse inscribed below the image, "There was a Young Lady of Turkey, who wept when the weather was murky; When the day turned out fine, she ceased to repine, that capricious Young Lady of Turkey," adds a whimsical and historical touch to the scene. Published in 1846, this print is a delightful example of the popular "nonsense" poetry trend that emerged during the Victorian era. The verses, which often featured absurd and fantastical characters, were intended to be lighthearted and amusing, providing a welcome respite from the seriousness of daily life. Despite its playful tone, this print also speaks to the capricious nature of the weather and the human emotion it can evoke. The young lady's reaction to the murky weather is a reminder of the power of the elements to influence our moods and outlooks. This print, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a beautiful addition to any collection of historical or literary art. Its connection to a beloved form of poetry adds an extra layer of meaning and enjoyment for those who appreciate the wit and whimsy of the Victorian era.
