EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a moment in history that showcases the union of two beloved figures. In this Vanity Fair cartoon, we see HSH The Duke of Teck, known as the most popular of princes, alongside his equally adored wife, the most popular of princesses. Created by Alfred Thompson in 1870, this color lithograph brings to life a satirical drawing that humorously celebrates their marriage. The image depicts the Duke and Princess surrounded by an array of majestic horses, from racehorses to shire horses and ponies. This playful inclusion adds an element of whimsy to the scene while highlighting their connection with animals and nature. Thompson's caricature style lends itself well to capturing the essence of these esteemed individuals. Their regal attire is accentuated with exaggerated features, emphasizing their larger-than-life personas within society. This satirical cartoon not only serves as a delightful piece for art enthusiasts but also offers insight into Victorian-era culture and values. It reflects both admiration for these prominent figures and a touch of scathing satire towards societal expectations surrounding royalty. Preserved within a private collection until now, this remarkable print allows us to step back in time and witness firsthand the charm and popularity that surrounded HSH The Duke of Teck and his princess bride on May 14th, 1870.
