This painting is an illustration inspired by the Edward Lear poem “The Jumblies”.
It appeared in the book His Shoes Were Far Too Tight, a collection of Lear's poems and stories,
edited by Daniel Pinkwater.
An excerpt of the poem:
They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered with trees,
And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart,
And a pound of Rice, and outlet a Cranberry Tart,
And a hive of silvery Bees.
And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws,
And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree,
And no end of Stilton Cheese.
Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
