EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Punch cartoon titled "James Ross Farquharson, Scottish soldier". Created by Edward Linley Sambourne in the late 19th century, this engraving captures the essence of British humor and satire. The illustration was originally featured in Punch magazine, known for its witty and humorous commentary on various aspects of society. The caricature portrays James Ross Farquharson, a Scottish soldier who served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Scots Guards. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire including a kilt, sporran, and top hat, Farquharson stands proudly with his shield. The artist skillfully combines elements of military regalia with comical exaggeration to create an amusing portrayal. This satirical drawing not only reflects the Victorian era's fascination with caricatures but also offers insight into British culture and identity during that time. It is interesting to note how even though this cartoon depicts a Scottish soldier, it finds its place within German collections such as Look and Learn / George Collection. With its intricate details and clever composition, this print serves as both an artistic piece and historical artifact. Whether you appreciate British humor or have an interest in military history, this image provides an intriguing glimpse into the past while showcasing Sambourne's talent as an illustrator.
