EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1846, depicts the Old Man of Calcutta, a character from Edward Lear's popular nonsense poem, "There Was an Old Man of Calcutta." The image captures the Old Man in a moment of perpetual indulgence, as he stuffs a great bit of muffin into his mouth, oblivious to the impending danger. The historical setting of Calcutta, then a major British colonial city, adds an intriguing layer to the whimsical scene. Lear, a renowned English artist and writer, is best known for his nonsense poetry and limericks, which have delighted readers of all ages since their publication in the mid-19th century. This particular poem, with its comical and absurd premise, showcases Lear's unique ability to blend the absurd with the familiar. The Old Man's expression of delight and concentration as he eats his bread and butter is contrasted with the ominous title of the poem, which foreshadows the unexpected twist. The print's intricate details, from the Old Man's wrinkled features to the ornate table setting, transport us back in time and invite us to ponder the nonsensical world of Edward Lear. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Lear's work and the power of the written word to transport us to fantastical realms. It is a reminder that even in the most mundane moments, there is room for the unexpected and the absurd. This print is not only a historical artifact but also a work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
