1846 Held Lear Nonsense Possessed Remarkable Gait Waddle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in 1846, depicts the Old Man of Kamschatka, a historical character brought to life through the whimsical verses of Edward Lear's beloved poem, "There was an Old Man of Kamschatka." The Old Man is shown with his remarkable, rotund cur, whose gait and waddle were held as the ideal for all fat dogs in Kamschatka. The Old Man's expression, filled with wisdom and merriment, exudes a sense of contentment and joy. His attire, consisting of a fur-trimmed coat and a wide-brimmed hat, adds to his distinct character. The Old Man's cur, with its plump body and wagging tail, mirrors its master's jovial demeanor. This print, a testament to the rich history of literature and art, offers a glimpse into the world of nonsense created by Edward Lear. The Old Man and his cur have become timeless characters, their story continuing to be passed down through generations. The image, published by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection of historical, literary, or artistic significance. The poem, first published in 1846, is a delightful example of Lear's unique storytelling ability, filled with humor, wit, and a touch of the absurd. The Old Man of Kamschatka and his cur are just two of the many memorable characters that have made Edward Lear's works a cherished part of our literary heritage. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of nonsense that continues to captivate and delight readers and viewers alike.
