EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sir William Augustus Fraser of Morar, a prominent figure in the 19th century. Created by Carlo Pellegrini, a renowned artist known for his satirical drawings, this colour lithograph showcases Fraser's larger-than-life personality and his role as "The Sanitary" in Vanity Fair's cartoon on January 9th, 1875. In this scathing satire piece, Pellegrini masterfully exaggerates Fraser's features to create a caricature that is both amusing and thought-provoking. The artist highlights Fraser's commanding presence with bold strokes and vibrant colors, making him the focal point of the composition. Fraser himself was an influential figure during his time - a man who held significant power and influence within society. This satirical drawing serves as both entertainment and social commentary, shedding light on the absurdities and contradictions present in Victorian society. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to an era where political cartoons were not only sources of amusement but also powerful tools for critiquing societal norms. It reminds us that even amidst laughter lies profound insight into human nature. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Pellegrini's artistic genius while offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of Sir William Augustus Fraser of Morar - a man whose legacy lives on through this timeless piece.
