EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a brilliant satirical cartoon titled "Sir Edward Bradford" by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Created on November 15,1890, for Vanity Fair magazine, this scathing satire depicts Sir Edward Bradford in all his glory. As the head of Scotland Yard during that time, Sir Edward Bradford was an influential figure in law enforcement. However, this caricature highlights his personality and role with a touch of humor and exaggeration. The artist's skillful use of color lithography brings out the vibrant details and adds depth to the illustration. In this satirical drawing, we see Sir Edward Bradford portrayed with exaggerated features and a mischievous grin on his face. His imposing figure is dressed impeccably in traditional attire befitting his position. The artist cleverly captures not only the physical attributes but also hints at some underlying characteristics through subtle symbolism. This piece serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece capturing the essence of political cartoons from that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into society's perception of authority figures like Sir Edward Bradford during Victorian times. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate audiences with its wit and charm even after more than a century since its creation.
