EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr Henry Edwards, a prominent figure in Weymouth during the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for caricature and satirical drawings. The image portrays Mr Henry Edwards with an air of sophistication and wit. His expressive features are exaggerated in a playful yet scathing manner, reflecting the biting satire that Vanity Fair was famous for. The cartoon was originally published on November 11th, 1882, making it a significant historical artifact from that era. As we delve into this satirical masterpiece, we can't help but wonder about the story behind Mr Henry Edwards' depiction. What did he represent? Was he a controversial figure or simply someone who caught Spy's attention? The answers may lie within the context of Weymouth society at that time. This print is part of the private collection held by Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. It offers us a glimpse into an era where political cartoons were powerful tools to express opinions and challenge societal norms. With its vibrant colours and meticulous details, this artwork continues to captivate viewers even after all these years. It serves as both a testament to Leslie Matthew Ward's artistic prowess and an intriguing window into history itself.
