EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print captures the essence of Edward Lear's whimsical poem, "There was a young lady whose eyes were unique as to color and size". Published in A Book of Nonsense by Frederick Warne and Co. in London around 1875, this satirical drawing brings to life the amusing tale written by Lear himself in 1846. The image portrays a female character with bulging, startling eyes that are both surprising and humorous. With its vibrant colors and exaggerated features, the illustration perfectly complements the playful nature of Lear's limerick. The young lady's outcast appearance adds an element of intrigue to the scene, making viewers wonder about her story. Lear's witty verse is known for its clever wordplay and absurd scenarios, appealing not only to children but also adults who appreciate literary humor. This particular limerick explores themes of uniqueness and individuality through a comical lens. As we gaze at this Victorian-era artwork from our private collection, we can't help but be captivated by the giant-sized eyes staring back at us. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to evoking laughter and sparking imagination.
