EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of William Ward Tailby, a prominent figure in Leicestershire during the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Samuel Luke Fildes, this colour lithograph showcases Tailby's larger-than-life personality and his deep connection to the world of hunting. The image portrays Tailby in a satirical cartoon style that was popularized by Vanity Fair at the time. With exaggerated features and a mischievous grin, he is depicted astride a magnificent horse, surrounded by an array of other animals including racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions. This lively scene perfectly encapsulates Tailby's passion for all things equestrian. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident that Fildes has masterfully captured not only the physical likeness of Tailby but also his spirit and zest for life. The attention to detail is remarkable; every animal seems to come alive on the canvas with their own unique personalities shining through. This piece serves as both a delightful caricature and an insightful commentary on society during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of hunting while simultaneously providing social critique through its scathing satire. Overall, this print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a historical document that transports us back to 1899 when William Ward Tailby was celebrated as "A Leicestershire Man" in Vanity Fair's pages.
