EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical cartoon print from 1907 captures the essence of Mr C M Wells, a prominent figure in his time. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this artwork was featured in Vanity Fair magazine. The colour lithograph showcases the artist's skillful caricature style. In this humorous depiction, Mr C M Wells is portrayed as a fatherly figure with exaggerated features and an air of confidence. Dressed in cricket attire, he stands tall with a cricket ball in hand, ready to bowl. The artist's intention seems to be both playful and critical; using satire to comment on societal norms or perhaps even mocking Mr Wells' own personality traits. The use of bold colors adds depth and liveliness to the image while enhancing its overall impact. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing through Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Ward's talent shines through in this scathing satire that invites viewers to ponder upon the complexities of human nature. It serves as a reminder that even influential figures are not immune to scrutiny or lighthearted mockery. Overall, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century caricature artistry while highlighting the enduring power of visual storytelling through cartoons.
