EDITORS COMMENTS
In this coloured etching titled "Charley the Principald Broker, 4th May 1822" we are transported back in time to witness a whimsical caricature of Charles Wright, a prominent stockbroker during the early 19th century. Created by Richard Dighton, an English artist known for his satirical portraits, this print showcases his talent for capturing both humor and social commentary. The image depicts Charley as a distinguished gentleman wearing a tailcoat and top hat, characteristic attire of the era. His profile is highlighted against a plain background, drawing our attention to his exaggerated features. With bulging eyes and an elongated nose that seems to stretch towards us, Dighton emphasizes Charley's distinct personality through clever exaggeration. As we delve deeper into the artwork's details, it becomes evident that Dighton intended to poke fun at the world of finance and its practitioners. By labeling Charley as "the Principald Broker" he playfully mocks the seriousness associated with stockbrokers while hinting at their questionable ethics. This delightful piece offers not only amusement but also insight into society's perception of financial professionals during that period. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, satire was used as a tool to shed light on societal norms and challenge conventional wisdom. Displayed proudly in London's National Portrait Gallery today, this historical gem continues to captivate viewers with its wit and artistic brilliance.
