Gerald Rose and Edward Lear III

A lovely illustration of a nest of fledglings, very economical with detail and perfectly capturing those hungry mouths by Gerald Rose, from The Dong with a Luminous Nose and Other Poems by Edward Lear 1969.
As the birds are busying around because of the arrival of spring in the Northern hemisphere, a timely reminder to pop out some nesting materials for them off cuts of wool, ect and give them a hand. Have a great weekend.

  1. Thanks for this charming picture! I think the red mouths were painted before the white outlines; makes them seem even hungrier.
