Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph showcases May's distinct features and larger-than-life personality. In this satirical drawing from Vanity Fair's cartoon series, Mr Phil May is depicted with his signature wit and charm. The artist skillfully portrays May's sharp intellect through exaggerated facial expressions and gestures that perfectly capture his scathing satire.
