EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant and satirical cartoon print of "Lord John Savile, Rufford Abbey" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of early 20th-century British society. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph was featured in Vanity Fair on 15 April 1908. In this scathing satire, Lord John Savile is depicted with exaggerated features and comical exaggerations that were characteristic of caricature art during that time. The artist's keen eye for detail brings out the essence of Lord Savile's personality and status within society. Lord John Savile himself was a prominent figure in his day. As an aristocrat residing at Rufford Abbey, he held considerable influence and wealth. This cartoon serves as both a playful jab at his position and a reflection of the social commentary prevalent during those times. The use of vivid colors adds depth to the artwork while drawing attention to specific details such as Lord Savile's attire or facial expressions. It is through these elements that we gain insight into the artist's intention: to entertain viewers while subtly critiquing societal norms. This particular print is part of a private collection but has found its way into public view thanks to Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Its presence allows us not only to appreciate the artistic talent behind it but also offers glimpses into historical events and figures that shaped our past.
