EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "The Duck And The Kangaroo" artist William Foster brings to life the humorous and fantastical world of Edward Lear's poetry. Taken from the book Nonsense Drolleries, published in 1889, this illustration captures the essence of Lear's witty verse. The image portrays an unlikely duo - a duck and a kangaroo - engaged in a comical conversation or perhaps planning their next adventure. With its comic undertones, the artwork invites viewers into an imaginative realm where animals engage in amusing banter. Foster's skillful use of line work and intricate details adds depth to each character, enhancing their individual personalities. The duck exudes confidence with its upright posture and mischievous grin, while the kangaroo appears slightly perplexed yet eager for whatever lies ahead. This print serves as a delightful reminder of Lear's contribution to English literature through his nonsensical poems. His unique style continues to captivate readers even today, showcasing his ability to blend humor with creativity seamlessly. Whether you are an admirer of funny verses or simply appreciate art that sparks joy, "The Duck And The Kangaroo" is sure to bring a smile to your face. Display it proudly on your wall as a testament to both Foster's artistic talent and Lear's enduring legacy in the world of nonsense literature.
