ing how I had seen Ristori in
Camma––if that was the wordand I could not and cannot recollect in
the very least what Camma isor what I refer to: yet there it was in my
own handwriting––a judgment on me for my opinion of my Grandfather
when I asked him if he had seen Garrick in Richard the Third and he replied
‘Isuppose I have’ and I thought ‘Bless my soul [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! shall

Edward Lear
.
1812–1888
One of Lear’s expeditions took him into Calabriaa region then notorious for
bandits:
The most dangerous characters to be met with in Calabria were fugitives
from justice. Hardly less dangerous were members of the local Ma?a .
robert browning and elizabeth barrett browning???
Yet it was two Englishmen at the Hotel Giordano in Reggio who probably
did Lear more harm than any of these. He overheard the following
fragment of their conversation at breakfast:
1st man. I sayDickdo you know who that fellow is who we were just talking to
last night?
2nd man. No?
1st man. Whyhe’s nothing but a dirty landscape painter.
Lear called himself a Dirty Landscape Painter ever after.
