EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph captures a whimsical scene from the 19th century English School, depicting "The ass and the bear, from the fair." The illustration comes from the book "New Comical Nursery Rhymes and Funny Stories" published by Ward, Lock and Tyler around 1865. In this delightful image, we see an amusing interaction between an ass and a bear at a fair.
The vibrant colours bring to life the comical nature of the story being told in this print. The intricate details in the artwork showcase the talent of the artist in capturing both humor and storytelling in one frame. The expressions on the faces of both animals evoke a sense of playfulness that is sure to bring a smile to anyone who views it.
Through this piece, we are transported back to a time when storytelling was done through illustrations like these. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been used as a medium for entertainment and amusement throughout history. This print is not just an image but also a window into another era filled with laughter and joy.
