The vibrant and captivating print of "Sir John Pakington (colour litho)" by Alfred Thompson takes us back to a significant moment in history. This satirical cartoon, originally published in Vanity Fair on 12 February 1870, provides a scathing satire of Sir John Pakington's role as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions and his efforts to reconstruct the Navy. In this caricature, we see Sir John Pakington depicted with great detail and humor. The artist skillfully captures his essence, highlighting both his influence and the controversies surrounding him during that time. With a touch of wit, Thompson portrays Pakington as an influential figure who played a pivotal role in shaping the Navy. The use of color lithography adds depth and vibrancy to this artwork. It brings out every intricate detail, making it visually striking for any viewer. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to an era where political cartoons were used as powerful tools for social commentary. This print is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection.
