EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colorful and satirical caricature of Captain Walter Edgeworth-Johnstone, a renowned boxer from the late 19th century. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this lithograph captures the essence of Captain Edgeworth-Johnstone's persona as a hard-hitting fighter. The image portrays the captain in his boxing attire, exuding strength and determination. With a mischievous smile on his face and fists clenched tightly, he embodies both power and confidence. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors adds an element of liveliness to the portrait. Originally published in Vanity Fair on July 9th, 1896, this cartoon is a scathing satire that humorously exaggerates Captain Edgeworth-Johnstone's boxing prowess. It serves as a testament to his reputation as one of the most formidable fighters of his time. Preserved within a private collection and now part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era sports entertainment. It not only celebrates Captain Walter Edgeworth-Johnstone's achievements but also highlights the artistry behind satirical drawings. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers even today. Its presence reminds us of an era when boxing was at its peak popularity while showcasing how art can be used to convey social commentary through satire.
