Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional talent for caricature and satirical drawings. The image depicts General Sir Frederick Forestier-Walker with a mischievous smile on his face, exuding confidence and authority. His distinctive features are exaggerated in a playful yet scathing manner, highlighting the artist's satirical approach to portraiture. Taken from Vanity Fair magazine's December 26th issue in 1902, this cartoon-like illustration was meant to entertain readers while subtly critiquing the subject's character or actions. Known by the nickname "Shookey". General Sir Frederick Forestier-Walker is portrayed here with an air of eccentricity that adds depth to the artwork. This print is not only visually striking but also offers insight into the social and political climate of its time. It serves as a reminder of how satire can be used as a powerful tool to challenge authority and provoke thought. A part of Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection held within a private collection, this piece represents an important moment in history captured through art.
