EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical cartoon print captures the essence of Mr Martinus Theunis Steyn, the former president of South Africa, in all his glory. Created on 9 August 1900 for Vanity Fair magazine, this colour lithograph is a true masterpiece by an anonymous English School artist. In this caricature, we see Mr Steyn depicted with exaggerated features that perfectly encapsulate his personality and political stature. His prominent facial expressions convey both power and vulnerability simultaneously. The artist's scathing satire is evident as they playfully mock Steyn's role as ex-president through clever visual cues. The use of bold colors adds to the overall impact of the artwork. Each stroke brings out the intricate details in Steyn's attire and accessories, showcasing his wealth and influence during that time period. This piece serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of A G Witherby or another talented artist from that era. Now part of a private collection but available for public viewing thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to delve into history while appreciating artistic brilliance. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important figure from South African politics at the turn of the century. Whether you are intrigued by political cartoons or simply appreciate fine art, this image will surely leave an indelible impression on your mind.
