EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "It is just as I feared!," depicts a wise and elderly man with a bushy, unkempt beard, a look of surprise and dismay etched on his weathered face. The man, inspired by the classic Edward Lear verse, "There was an Old Man with a beard," is surrounded by an assortment of unexpected inhabitants: two owls, a hen, four larks, and a wren, all nesting comfortably in the intricacies of his beard. Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and author, first published this nonsense verse in 1846 as part of his collection "A Book of Nonsense." This playful and whimsical verse, accompanied by Lear's distinctive illustrations, became an instant classic, delighting readers of all ages with its absurdity and humor. The man in this photograph, with his expressive eyes and furrowed brow, seems to embody the spirit of Lear's verse. His beard, once a symbol of age and wisdom, has become a home for an unlikely assortment of creatures. The owls, perched regally, keep watch over their makeshift nest, while the hen and her chicks huddle together for warmth. The larks, with their bright colors and cheerful songs, add a touch of joy to the scene, while the wren, the smallest of the birds, completes the ensemble. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Edward Lear's nonsense verse. It invites us to look at the world with fresh eyes, to find wonder and delight in the unexpected, and to embrace the absurdities of life with open hearts and open minds.
