EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, published in 1846, depicts the legendary tale of "The Young Lady of Hull" as penned by Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and writer known for his nonsense verse and limericks. The story goes that there once was a young lady from Hull, who was chased relentlessly by a virulent and enraged bull. In a moment of quick thinking and bravery, the young lady seized a spade and called out, "Who's afraid?" Her unexpected challenge managed to distract the bull, allowing her to escape harm. This historical anecdote, brought to life through Lear's whimsical illustrations, is a testament to the power of wit and courage in the face of danger. The print, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, invites us to step into the world of nonsense and delight in the unexpected twists and turns of this timeless tale. Lear's "Book of Nonsense," which was first published in 1846, contained this story and many others, and quickly became a beloved classic. The collection of nonsensical verses and illustrations continues to captivate readers of all ages, offering a welcome escape from the mundane and a reminder of the importance of creativity and imagination. This print, with its rich history and playful charm, is a must-have for any collector of antique literature, art, or Edward Lear memorabilia. It is a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the nonsensical and the unexpected.
