EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures the essence of Sir Charles Brooke, the esteemed Rajah of Sarawak. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this satirical cartoon was published in Vanity Fair on January 19th, 1899. The image showcases Sir Charles Brooke with a touch of humor and scathing satire. Dressed in traditional attire befitting his royal status, Sir Charles exudes an air of authority and regality. His stern expression is softened by a twinkle in his eye, hinting at his charismatic personality. The artist skillfully incorporates intricate details into the portrait, highlighting every aspect of Sir Charles' distinguished appearance. The caricature serves as both a tribute to Sir Charles Brooke's influential role as Rajah and a playful commentary on his reign over Sarawak. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of colonial politics through its clever depiction.

It invites contemplation on themes such as imperialism and identity while celebrating one man's significant contribution to history. Preserved within private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate not only its artistic merits but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this portrayal of Sir Charles Brooke, we are reminded once again that art has the power to capture moments in time and
