The New Book of Nonsense was published for sale at the Philadelphia Great Central Sanitary Fair, which ran from June 7 to June 29, 1864. It is an imitation of Edward Lear’s Book of Nonsense.
Transcript:
There was a bold painter who said, “I will paint such a wonderful head,
That I’ll make the whole Fair, with astonishment stare
When they see this miraculous head.”
