The Excellent Double-extra XX
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a whimsical and humorous engraving by Edward Lear, showcasing his unique talent for creating absurdities through art. This delightful print, part of a private collection, captures the essence of Lear's Nonsense Botany and Nonsense Alphabets. In this particular illustration, we are introduced to King Xerxes himself as he encounters an alphabet filled with outrageous characters and playful absurdities. Each letter comes alive with its own distinct personality, bringing laughter and joy to anyone who gazes upon them. Lear's mastery lies in his ability to infuse humor into every stroke of his pen. The exaggerated features and comical expressions on these letters make it impossible not to chuckle at their silliness. It is as if they have broken free from the confines of language rules and embarked on a mischievous adventure all their own. As we explore "The Excellent Double-extra XX" we are transported into a world where nonsense reigns supreme. It reminds us that sometimes it is okay to let go of seriousness and embrace the sheer fun found in life's little absurdities. This print serves as a reminder that even in our daily routines, there is room for laughter and playfulness. So next time you find yourself lost in the monotony of everyday life, take inspiration from Lear's masterpiece – let loose your inner child and revel in the nonsensical wonders that surround us all.
