EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in literary history, showcasing the letter from Charles Lamb to John Clare on 31st August 1822. The artist, Charles Lamb himself, penned this letter from his workplace at India House to express gratitude for a gift of poems from the talented peasant-poet, John Clare. However, amidst the appreciation lies constructive criticism as Lamb addresses Clare's frequent use of provincial phrases. The image also reveals an intriguing twist with a recipe for cooking frogs included at the end of the letter. This unexpected addition showcases Lamb's diverse interests beyond writing and highlights his culinary expertise. The manuscript itself is beautifully handwritten, displaying Lamb's distinctive signature and impeccable craftsmanship.
