G was a little old Goose
Drawing by Edward Lear (1812-88)
England, c.1880
One of 26 drawings depicting a nonsense alphabet. Each features an illustration, the letter in capital and small size in both Roman and copperplate style, and humorous verse. These drawings were made in Northern Italy about 1880 for Charles Geffrard Pirouet, then a small boy staying at the same hotel as the artist.
Custom printed on 300gsm textured fine art paper.

Edward Lear
Edward Lear was an English artist and illustrator known for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks. One of Lear's admirers was Beatrix Potter who was fascinated by his nonsense rhymes and limericks. Both artists often wrote with a particular child in mind.
