EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant color lithograph captures the essence of Mr Robert Wigram Crawford, a man of immense weight and high standing in society. Created by Melchiorre Delfico, this satirical cartoon was originally published on 11th January 1873 in Vanity Fair magazine. The caricature is a scathing satire that humorously exaggerates Mr Crawford's physical appearance and social status. In this print, we see Mr Robert Wigram Crawford portrayed with great detail and precision. His robust figure dominates the composition, emphasizing his considerable girth. Dressed impeccably in fine attire, he exudes an air of confidence befitting his esteemed position. Delfico's artistic style adds depth to the character portrayal through clever use of shading and intricate linework. The artist masterfully captures both the physicality and personality of Mr Crawford, making him instantly recognizable to those familiar with his public persona. This satirical drawing serves as a testament to Vanity Fair's reputation for witty commentary on contemporary figures. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of political cartoons during the Victorian era when such illustrations were popular forms of entertainment and social critique. Now preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece from Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection continues to captivate audiences with its humorous depiction of one man's larger-than-life presence in society.
