Despite hearing the song dozens of times I never thought to check out Lear’s “visages and forms of parrots and cockatoos”.
Between the ages of 18-20 he drew 42 parrots, including some Australian cockatoos. Published 1832.
Tricolour-crested (now Major Mitchell’s) cockatoo.

A Victorian painting with a surprising history: tho' indeed inspired by his travels, Edward Lear's "Cedars of Lebanon" (1861) was sketched in the grounds of Oatlands Park Hotel, Surrey—they've a print of the sketch to prove it, plus, the trees themselves! https://t.co/wkJEI5xYL6

The internet informs me I first posted this little piece 8 years ago today! Inspired by Edward Lear's delightful limerick...
There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!—
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.

Hunt also portrayed his contemporaries such as his PRB friends Rossetti (1853) & Millais (1853). Also shown is Edward Lear (1857). The latter is almost hallucinatory in its scrutiny.
Here is a selection of this week's top prints on the Royal Society Print Shop! We have the Rainbow Bladderweed from the ever-popular Anna Atkins, an Eagle Owl by Edward Lear, and some delightful mosses from Adolf Giltsch. See more: https://t.co/gIB0J9Z8FZ

#MythologyMonday Queen Cordelia was a legendary Queen of the Britons. She was the youngest daughter of Leir and the second ruling queen of pre-Roman Britain. There is no independent historical evidence for her existence. Her story was used by Shakespeare in his play "King Lear".
I love you bby, i'm sorry about your mom

Excuse the stock logo, but this “King Lear” demands my attention. I feel like there is no better time to revisits good handful of Shakespearean plays. ✨
"King and Queen of the Pelicans we;
No other Birds so grand we see!
None but we have feet like fins!
With lovely leathery throats and chins!" -Edward Lear
