Lithograph by Peter Vos, signed in pencil by the maker, with AH blind stamp. Published on the occasion of AH's 100th anniversary. Framed in aluminum frame. The condition is good, there is a stain at the bottom right, which will be covered by a passe-partout when framed. 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.
'There was an old man of El Hums,
Who lived upon nothing but crumbs,
Which he picked off the ground, with the other birds round,
In the roads and the lanes of El Hums.'
Peter Vos explains the picture as follows: "Once upon a time there was an old man who only ate crumbs. A limerick from Lear. What I like about those English nonsense poets - John Lennon was also good at it - is that they take a very special point of view and then very realistically. Whether it is really true. Whether the world has suddenly changed. But we continue to live. That makes me laugh."
The lithograph can be picked up free of charge in Utrecht or Breda. Cannot be sent by regular mail due to its vulnerability.
