Lear Nonsense Ornamented Sombrero Songs Stories


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the whimsical world of Edward Lear's "The Quangle Wangle's Hat." The Quangle Wangles, a band of mischievous creatures from Lear's classic nonsense poem, are known for their love of hats, particularly the 200ft. ornamented hat atop the Crumpetty Tree. In this photograph, the Quangle Wangle's extravagant hat takes center stage, its vibrant colors and intricate designs a testament to the imaginative spirit of Lear's storytelling. The hat, a veritable sombrero of nonsense, is adorned with a riotous array of flowers, fruits, and other exotic objects, each one more fantastical than the last. The Crumpetty Tree, a towering and enchanted tree, serves as the hatrack for this magnificent creation. Its gnarled branches reach out to embrace the hat, holding it in place against the wind and the whims of the Quangle Wangles themselves. First published in 1867, "The Quangle Wangle's Hat" is just one of the many delightful stories and poems that Edward Lear penned during his long and illustrious career as a writer and illustrator. His works, filled with nonsense verse, fantastical creatures, and a sense of the absurd, continue to captivate readers of all ages and inspire the imaginations of generations. This photograph, a historical treasure from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich world of Edward Lear and the Quangle Wangles, a world where hats are ornamented with the most extraordinary things, and the Crumpetty Tree is the tallest and most enchanted tree in all the land.
