1846 Closed Coats Futile Gentleman Lear Nonsense Partially Rats Supposed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Lear / Nonsense / Rats Dozed," transports us back in time to the 19th century, as depicted in this historical snapshot from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image, based on Edward Lear's popular nonsense poem "The Owl and the Pussycat," showcases a scene of whimsy and mischief. The old man in the image, with a look of peaceful slumber on his face, is oblivious to the chaos unfolding just beyond the partially closed street door. The door, a symbol of security and protection, is rendered futile as some very large rats make their way into the scene. These rats, with their sharp teeth and beady eyes, are shown feasting on the old gentleman's coats and hats, adding a touch of humor and absurdity to the scene. The poem "The Owl and the Pussycat," first published in 1846, is a beloved work of nonsense literature that continues to delight readers of all ages. The verses, filled with fantastical creatures and nonsensical rhymes, offer a glimpse into the imaginative world of Edward Lear. This print, with its playful depiction of the poem's characters, serves as a visual representation of the whimsy and absurdity that lies at the heart of Lear's work. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the power of imagination and the joy that can be found in the most unexpected of places. The old man's peaceful doze, the rats' mischievous antics, and the partially closed door all come together to create a scene that is at once delightful and thought-provoking. Whether you are a fan of Edward Lear's work or simply appreciate the beauty of a well-crafted print, this image is sure to capture your imagination and leave you smiling.
