EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the satirical genius of Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Titled "Richard D Oyly Carte" this colour lithograph captures the essence of the renowned theatrical manager and impresario. In this caricatured portrayal, Richard D Oyly Carte is depicted wearing a distinguished top hat, symbolizing his position as a prominent figure in the world of theatre. The cartoon-like style adds an element of playfulness to the image while simultaneously conveying a scathing satire that Vanity Fair was famous for. The setting for this artwork is none other than the iconic Savoy Theatre, which Carte himself built and managed. As one gazes at this print, they can almost feel the energy and excitement emanating from within its walls. Carte's contribution to English opera cannot be overstated; he played a pivotal role in establishing Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas as popular entertainment during Victorian times. This image serves as both a tribute to his achievements and a testament to his larger-than-life personality. Preserved in private collection until now, this rare find offers us an intimate glimpse into an era when theatre reigned supreme. It reminds us of Carte's enduring legacy as well as Ward's artistic prowess in capturing personalities through his satirical drawings. Whether you are an enthusiast of theatre history or simply appreciate fine art with historical significance, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its vivid colours and rich storytelling.
