Sobre este artículo
Frederick Warne, London, n.d. ca. 1875. Coloured frontispiece (with 2 illustrated Limericks), coloured pictorial title and 83 colour illustrated Limericks on 40 leaves. The 40 leaves printed on one side only and bound back to back, each group interleaved with a blank. Thus 85 coloured illustrations and not 88 as stated on the cover. However the volume collates correctly; these coloured issues would appear to vary in the number of illustrations. 4to (10 1/2 x 9 inches), original green cloth pictorially blocked in gilt. Colour fading to portion of upper cover due to damp, chipped at base of spine, inner joints cracked, rear free endpaper detached. The colours of the illustrations very vibrant. Inscription dated 1877. An uncommon edition.
Sinopsis
Edward Lear (1812 - 1888) was an English writer of nonsense, the most famous piece of which is The Owl and the Pussycat. He is also credited with popularizing the limerick, though there was some speculation as to whether his patron, the Earl of Derby, simply used Lear as a pseudonym for his own writings. Lear was also a successful illustrator and even spent some time tutoring Queen Victoria in drawing before his improper behaviour had him thrown out of court.
