EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was a Young Lady whose nose was so long that it reached to her toes". Published in A Book of Nonsense by Frederick Warne and Co. in London around 1875, this satirical drawing showcases Lear's unique blend of absurdity and humor. The image depicts a young lady with an exaggeratedly long nose, stretching all the way down to her toes. The artist skillfully portrays the surreal deformity with intricate details, making it both humorous and visually striking. The assistant/helper character beside her adds an element of surprise as he carries books on his head while trying to navigate around her elongated feature. Lear's limericks were renowned for their playful verses and imaginative illustrations, captivating readers of all ages. This particular print exemplifies Victorian-era literature at its finest, combining verse and illustration seamlessly to create a delightful piece of art. As we gaze upon this enchanting lithograph from our private collection, we are reminded not only of Lear's literary genius but also the enduring power of imagination. It serves as a testament to how even the most preposterous ideas can bring joy and laughter into our lives.
