The Duke of Athole (colour litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating satirical cartoon that offers a scathing satire on the seventh Duke of Athole. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this Vanity Fair caricature from November 8th, 1879, showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects with wit and humor. In this vibrant color lithograph print, we see the Duke portrayed in all his pomp and grandeur. Dressed in regal attire and adorned with various symbols of wealth and power, he exudes an air of self-importance. However, it is through Ward's clever artistic interpretation that we begin to unravel the true nature behind this facade. With keen attention to detail and exaggerated features characteristic of caricature artistry, Ward exposes the Duke's flaws and weaknesses. Through subtle gestures and facial expressions, he unveils a man consumed by vanity and arrogance. The satirical drawing invites us to question societal norms surrounding nobility while simultaneously providing entertainment through its playful mockery. This particular piece has been carefully preserved within a private collection but now finds new life as part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows enthusiasts to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance. "The Duke of Athole (colour litho)" remains an enduring testament to Leslie Matthew Ward's mastery as a satirical artist. It serves as both a reminder of our human follies and an invitation to reflect upon the absurdities found
