EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1846, showcases the whimsical and timeless tale of "The Old Man of the Dee" from Edward Lear's collection of nonsensical poetry. In this image, the old man, with a look of sadness and frustration on his face, holds a hatchet, as if pondering his next move. The source of his annoyance is a tiny flea, perched on his hand. The absurdity of the situation is heightened by the presence of a top hat atop his head, adding an element of the unexpected to this historical anecdote. Lear's "Book of Nonsense," which includes this popular poem, was first published in 1846 and has since become a cherished piece of literary history. The collection, filled with playful verses and illustrations, was a departure from Lear's earlier work as an illustrator and showcased his unique ability to create a world of nonsensical delight. The Old Man of the Dee, a character from this beloved collection, has captivated generations of readers with his simple yet humorous predicament. This print, with its intricate details and expressive characters, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this classic work of nonsense literature. As you gaze at this image, let the absurdity of the situation bring a smile to your face and remind you of the power of imagination and the joy of the unexpected.
