EDITORS COMMENTS
Wysard's Waxworks: A Humorous Snapshot of the Aristocratic Class in the 1930s This illustration, created by the renowned British caricaturist Tony Wysard (1907-1984), showcases a playful and humorous portrayal of the Earl and Countess of Seafield and their young son, Viscount Reidhaven, in 1939. The image, titled "Wysard's Waxworks," is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with a satirical and lighthearted touch. Nina, Countess of Seafield, is depicted pushing a pram adorned with the family crest, while her husband, Derek Herbert Studley-Herbert, and their son, Ian, look on with amusement. The Earl, dressed in a tweed suit and bowler hat, appears to be enjoying a smoke, while the young Viscount, dressed in a sailor suit, seems to be eagerly anticipating the journey ahead. Tony Wysard's Waxworks series was known for its intricate and humorous depictions of celebrities and prominent figures of the time. This illustration, in particular, captures the spirit of the aristocratic class during the 1930s, a time of elegance, tradition, and humor. The image is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, and the artist's ability to capture the personalities and quirks of his subjects with such wit and charm continues to captivate audiences today.
