Lithograph by Peter Vos, signed in pencil by the maker, with AH blind stamp. Published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of AH. Framed in an aluminium frame. The condition is very good. Reflections may be visible in the photos.
The lithograph is an Illustration of Edward Lear's poem, which appeared in 1872 in More Nonsense Pictures, Rhymes Botany etc.
The limerick reads as follows: There was an Old Man with an owl, Who continued to bother and howl; He sat on a rail And imbibed bitter ale, Which refreshed that Old Man and his owl.
Peter Vos explains the work as follows: “From a poem by Edward Lear. He is an English poet from the previous century, who is best known for his poems for children. A limerick about an old man, who is drinking beer with an owl and whining. That was a good time because I have always wanted to draw an excited owl. They put up all their feathers and then they become very crazy things.”
The work can be collected free of charge in Utrecht or Breda.
