EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and witty caricature by Garretto, published in The Graphic in May 18, 1928, we find William Maxwell Aitken, First Baron Beaverbrook, a Canadian-born British politician and newspaper proprietor, depicted in all his larger-than-life glory. Aitken, who would later be elevated to the peerage, was the proud owner of the Daily Express, a newspaper that had successfully tapped into the conservative, working class voter base with its populist tone and sensationalist headlines. The caricature captures Aitken's distinctive features - his bushy mustache, piercing eyes, and the confident, almost smug expression on his face. He is shown seated in an ornate armchair, with a cigar clenched between his teeth and a stack of newspapers at his feet. The room around him is adorned with the trappings of power and wealth - a grand fireplace, ornate wallpaper, and an impressive collection of books. Garretto's caricature is a testament to Aitken's larger-than-life persona, which was as much a part of his public image as his political and business accomplishments. The Daily Express, under his stewardship, had become a powerful force in British politics and journalism, and Aitken himself was a larger-than-life figure, known for his charisma, his flamboyant lifestyle, and his ability to make headlines. This caricature is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of British politics and journalism in the 1920s, and a reminder of the enduring power of visual satire to capture the essence of a public figure. The Graphic, with its high-quality illustrations and incisive commentary, was a leading publication of its time, and this caricature of Aitken is a testament to its editorial excellence and its ability to capture the zeitgeist of the era.
