EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful engraving titled "The Duck And The Kangaroo" captures the whimsical and humorous essence of Edward Lear's poetry. Created by William Foster, this print is a true gem from the world of English literature. In this comical scene, we see a duck and a kangaroo engaged in an unlikely conversation or perhaps even planning an adventure together. The duck, with its quizzical expression and wings flapping in excitement, seems to be persuading the kangaroo to join in on some mischievous escapades. Meanwhile, the kangaroo appears both intrigued and bewildered by the proposition. The intricate details of Foster's engraving bring out every feather on the duck and every strand of fur on the kangaroo, adding depth to their characters. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they can't help but imagine what kind of hilarious antics these two peculiar creatures might embark upon. "The Duck And The Kangaroo" is part of Edward Lear's Nonsense Drolleries collection published in 1889. Lear was renowned for his witty verses that defied logic while tickling readers' funny bones. This print serves as a visual representation of Lear's imaginative world where animals engage in amusing conversations beyond our wildest dreams. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their private collection so that admirers can relish in its humor for years to come.
