EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colourful and satirical caricature of Colonel Montague Johnstone, also known as Monty. Created by the talented artist Robert Wallace Hester in 1913 for Vanity Fair magazine, this cartoon captures the essence of scathing satire. In this lively illustration, Colonel Montague Johnstone is depicted with exaggerated features and a mischievous grin. The vibrant colours bring an added layer of liveliness to the artwork, making it truly eye-catching. Hester's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate lines that define Monty's face to the carefully chosen hues that enliven his character. The satirical nature of this drawing allows viewers to delve into a world where social norms are playfully challenged. Through clever exaggeration and witty commentary, Hester invites us to question authority and laugh at its follies. This particular piece was part of a private collection before finding its way into Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its portrayal of Colonel Montague Johnstone during a time when political cartoons were powerful tools for social critique. Whether you appreciate art or have an interest in history, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into both realms. It serves as a reminder that even through satire and caricature, we can uncover deeper truths about society while enjoying the beauty found within these masterpieces.
