EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the satirical brilliance of Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Titled "Mr John Blundell Maple" this colour lithograph from 1891 is a scathing satire that was featured in Vanity Fair magazine. In this caricature, Mr John Blundell Maple, a prominent figure during his time, is depicted with wit and humor. The cartoon highlights his association with cheap fares on June 6th, 1891 - an aspect for which he became well-known. Ward's artistic talent shines through in this piece as he masterfully captures Maple's essence while adding a touch of exaggeration to create a humorous effect. The attention to detail and clever composition make it evident why Ward was highly regarded for his satirical drawings. This particular print is part of the private collection belonging to Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection and has been preserved by Bridgeman Images. It serves as not only a historical artifact but also an example of how art can be used to comment on societal issues. Whether you appreciate the artistry or find amusement in its subject matter, "Mr John Blundell Maple" offers a glimpse into the world of political cartoons from over a century ago – reminding us that satire has long been employed as a means to critique those in power.
