EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lear with a Poker," depicts the famous character King Lear from William Shakespeare's tragic play, reimagined in a whimsical and nonsensical light. The image, published in 1846, shows an old man with a poker in his hand, smeared with red "oker" or vermilion paint on his face. The historical context of this print is intriguing, as it deviates from the traditional portrayal of King Lear, known for his tragic and poignant monologues. The inscription beneath the image reads, "There was an Old Man with a poker, Who painted his face with red oker. When they said, 'You're a Guy!' He made no reply, But knocked them all down with his poker." This nonsensical verse adds an element of mystery and amusement to the print. The old man's expression is serious, yet his actions are unexpected and playful. The poker, a tool typically used for building fires or playing poker games, is transformed into a painting tool and a weapon. The red paint on his face may symbolize the passion and intensity of the character, or it could represent the chaos and unpredictability of life. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the history of literary and artistic interpretations of King Lear. It challenges the traditional notion of the character and invites the viewer to ponder the deeper meaning behind the image. The use of nonsensical verse adds a layer of intrigue and playfulness, making it a unique and captivating addition to any collection of historical prints or literature.
