EDITORS COMMENTS
General Sir Frederick Charles Arthur Stephenson, affectionately known as 'Dear old Ben', is immortalized in this vibrant and satirical Vanity Fair cartoon from June 18,1887. Created by the talented Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph captures the essence of General Stephenson's character with a touch of scathing satire. In this caricature, General Stephenson is depicted with his distinctive features and military regalia. The artist skillfully exaggerates certain aspects to create a humorous yet insightful portrayal of the general. With a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous smile on his face, 'Dear old Ben' appears both dignified and approachable. Vanity Fair was renowned for its witty commentary on prominent figures of the time, using cartoons like these to provide social critique through humor. This particular piece showcases Ward's ability to capture not only physical likeness but also personality traits that were well-known among those who knew General Stephenson. The Private Collection that houses this print ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate the artistry behind such political satire. As we gaze upon this historical gem today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and offer us glimpses into past eras while still resonating with our own sense of humor.
