EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of 19th-century satire. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this cartoon was originally published in Vanity Fair on October 29,1887. The artwork showcases the titular character, Sir Ford North, with his gentle manners being humorously exaggerated. In this satirical drawing, Sir Ford North is depicted in a caricatured form that highlights his refined demeanor and sophisticated nature. The artist's keen eye for detail brings out every nuance of the subject's personality through clever visual cues and exaggerated features. The use of color lithography adds vibrancy to the print and enhances its overall appeal. This technique allows for rich hues and intricate details to be faithfully reproduced on paper. Ward's scathing satire shines through as he playfully pokes fun at societal norms and conventions prevalent during that era. Through this satirical cartoon, he offers viewers an amusing commentary on class distinctions and social etiquette. As a part of the Peter Jackson Collection held in private ownership, this particular print holds historical significance as it provides valuable insight into the political climate of late Victorian England. "The Hon Sir Ford North (colour litho)" remains an enduring piece of art that continues to captivate audiences with its wit and charm even after more than a century since its creation.
