EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of Edward Lear's famous limerick, "There was a Young Lady of Norway, who casually sat in a doorway". Published in A Book of Nonsense by Frederick Warne and Co. London around 1875, this colour lithograph showcases Lear's unique blend of satire and absurdity. The illustration depicts a young lady nonchalantly perched in a doorway, seemingly unaware or unfazed by the potential danger surrounding her. With an air of carelessness and courage, she defies societal norms and embraces her own folly. The artist skillfully brings out the humorous aspects of the limerick through his exaggerated portrayal. Lear's witty verses often challenged conventional wisdom with their nonsensical rhymes and playful language. This particular limerick highlights both the hazards faced by adventurous individuals as well as their brave spirit to face them head-on. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes courage to embrace life's absurdities. With its lively colors and detailed illustrations, this print not only entertains but also offers insight into Victorian literature for children. Lear's work continues to captivate audiences with its clever wordplay and imaginative visuals. In summary, this charming artwork from Fine Art Finder encapsulates Edward Lear's renowned limerick about a daring young lady from Norway who fearlessly sits in a doorway despite potential dangers lurking nearby.
