EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a colourful lithograph of Captain Wentworth William Hope Johnstone, created by the talented Leslie Matthew Ward (also known as Spy) in 1897. The artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the satirical world of Vanity Fair cartoons. In this caricature, Captain Johnstone, affectionately called Wenty, takes center stage with his distinctive features exaggerated for comedic effect. The artist's scathing satire shines through as he pokes fun at the captain's persona and perhaps even societal norms of the time. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring this satirical drawing to life, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that political cartoons have long been an effective means of commentary on public figures. This particular piece was featured in Vanity Fair magazine on March 25th, 1897 - an era when such illustrations held great influence over public opinion. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's archives, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its brilliance.
