Stray Hares Postcard

Here we have a portly gentleman with a receding hairline, wearing a red jacket with gold buttons and plaid pants, his arms flailing backwards and one leg in the air. A brown rabbit is emerging from his open mouth, while two other rabbits sit on the grass and another is leaping through the air.

Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author and poet , known principally for his popular nonsense works, which use real and invented English words.
