EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1846, depicts the famous character of the old woman of Smyrna from the timeless narrative poem "There Was a Young Person of Smyrna." The young woman, dressed in traditional attire of the late 19th century, stands defiantly before her elderly grandmother, who holds a burning brand in hand, threatening to burn her. The young woman, however, seizes the family cat and taunts her grandmother with the iconic line, "Granny, burn that!" The incongruous scene of a young person challenging an old one, set against the backdrop of Smyrna, a historic city in modern-day Turkey, adds to the whimsical and nonsensical nature of this classic tale. The image is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of literature to transcend time and culture. The print, which is part of the rich literary and historical heritage, is a beautiful representation of the poem's original illustrations. It is a must-have for collectors of historical prints, literature enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the art of storytelling. The poem, "There Was a Young Person of Smyrna," is a classic example of nonsense verse, which gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a playful and humorous poem that has been passed down through generations, and continues to be a favorite among children and adults alike. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker, and is a reminder of the rich literary and artistic heritage of the past. It is a treasure to be cherished and enjoyed for generations to come.
