EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical lithograph by Edward Lear, titled "There was an Old Person of Ealing, who was wholly devoid of good feeling" we are transported into the world of nonsense and humor. Lear's playful illustration accompanies a limerick from his book More Nonsense, published in 1888. The image depicts an elderly figure with a mischievous grin on their face, embodying the character described in the limerick. The old person is portrayed as someone completely lacking in empathy or kindness, evoking both amusement and curiosity. Lear's mastery lies in his ability to create such absurd characters that captivate our imagination. This print serves as a delightful reminder of the power of laughter and how it can bring joy to our lives. It showcases Lear's unique style and contribution to English literature through his humorous verse and clever wordplay. As we gaze at this engraving from a private collection, we cannot help but appreciate the timeless appeal of nonsense literature. It reminds us that sometimes it is okay to let go of logic and indulge in silliness for its own sake. Bridgeman Images has preserved this gem from Edward Lear's repertoire for us to enjoy today. Let it serve as a gentle nudge towards embracing laughter and finding delight even in the most nonsensical aspects of life.
