EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen, Bart. in all his eccentric glory. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a perfectly groomed handlebar mustache, Sir Hugo exudes charm and wit. Dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, he embodies the epitome of 1920s style. Sir Hugo was not just a man of fashion; he was also an accomplished businessman and industrialist. As Chairman of the British-American Tobacco Company, he played a significant role in shaping the tobacco industry during his time. Additionally, as Chairman of Cunliffe-Owen Aircraft, he contributed to Britain's aviation efforts during World War II. Beyond his professional achievements, Sir Hugo had another passion – horse racing. His victory at the Epsom Derby in 1928 with his horse Felstead at odds of 33/1 is testament to both his love for horses and his ability to defy expectations. This portrait is part of a series called Straight Line caricatures produced by John Player & Sons as cigarette cards. It showcases not only Sir Hugo's accomplishments but also highlights the humor and lightheartedness that characterized this era. With its vibrant colors and playful depiction, this print serves as a delightful reminder of an influential figure from twentieth-century England who left an indelible mark on both business and society.
