This framed piece is an original print of one of Denslow’s works with a section of Alexander Pope’s “Essay on Man,” apparently hand written in ink. When you read it, you may be reminded of Nietzsche or Sartre or maybe even Peggy Lee – “Is that all there is?” Futility, fatalism and downright despair – those are the obvious messages in this very small section of Pope’s long, rambling essay in verse.
