EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lieutenant-General Robert Baden-Powell, the esteemed founder of the Boy Scout movement. Created in 1926 by artist Alick P F Ritchie for John Player & Sons' cigarette card collection, this straight-line caricature captures the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on British society. Dressed in his military uniform with a distinguished hat, Baden-Powell's portrait exudes strength and authority. The vibrant colors bring life to this collectible piece, highlighting his significant contributions to both warfare and the boy scout movement. In this image, we see more than just a soldier; we witness a visionary leader who revolutionized youth education through outdoor activities and character development. His dedication to instilling values such as loyalty, courage, and self-reliance resonated with countless young men across Britain. The inclusion of cigarettes in this artwork serves as a reminder of the era's smoking culture but should not detract from Baden-Powell's remarkable achievements. This photograph immortalizes him as not only a military figure but also as an influential mentor who shaped generations of boys into responsible citizens. Alick P F Ritchie skillfully captures Baden-Powell's essence through his artistic interpretation. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a testament to one man's enduring legacy - that of Sir Robert Baden-Powell: soldier, founder of the Boy Scouts movement, and inspiration to millions worldwide.
