EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Jellicoe in 1926. Painted by Alick Penrose Forbes Ritchie, this colour lithograph showcases the distinguished naval officer in his full glory. Earl Jellicoe is best remembered for his pivotal role as Commander of the British Navy during the Battle of Jutland in 1916, which was the only major naval conflict in World War I. Although criticized for being overly cautious, Jellicoe's strategic decisions ultimately led to a British victory over Germany. Part of a series called Straight Line caricatures produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons, this artwork reflects the golden age of collecting these popular items from late 19th century until World War II. Cigarette cards served not only as collector's items but also provided instruction, entertainment, and amusement before television and radio became widespread. In this portrait, we see Admiral Jellicoe donning his impressive navy uniform adorned with numerous medals that symbolize his bravery and accomplishments. His cap sits proudly atop his head while he exudes an air of authority and confidence. This vintage card offers a humorous twist to its depiction with exaggerated features characteristic of caricature artistry. It serves as both a historical representation and a lighthearted tribute to one of Britain's most esteemed naval officers from the early 20th century.
