Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This book reproduces a comic alphabet and a selection from sixteen comic birds by Edward Lear, now in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The drawings were done in 1880 and given by the artist to Charles Geffrard Pirouet, as a small boy, and remained for many years mounted in a ragbook. Most of Lear's surviving Nonsense drawings have found their way to the United States. The existence of the present drawings was not suspected until 1951 when they appeared in the saleroom. They were promptly acquired for the Museum and are the first examples of Lear's humorous art to find a place in any British national collection. No stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Covers show only minor shelf wear and are not creased. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Stapled binding is tight and square. Corners lightly bumped. An excellent reading copy.
