EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a satirical cartoon titled "Mr Montague John Guest (colour litho)" by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Created in 1880 for Vanity Fair magazine, this caricature is a scathing satire of the prominent figure Montague John Guest. The artwork depicts Mr. Guest, affectionately referred to as Monty, with exaggerated features and comical elements that highlight his personality traits or public image. The artist's skillful use of color lithography brings out the vibrancy and depth of the illustration, making it visually striking. Monty was a well-known individual during his time, and this cartoon offers an amusing insight into his character through clever exaggeration and witty commentary. It serves as both entertainment and social critique, reflecting the popular tradition of satirical drawings prevalent in Vanity Fair at that period. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance within the realm of political cartoons. With its rich colors and sharp wit, this satirical drawing continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century since its creation. It stands as a testament to Leslie Matthew Ward's talent as an illustrator while providing valuable insights into the cultural climate of late 19th-century England.
