EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases Frederick Edwin Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead, Lord Chancellor in 1926. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alick P F Ritchie, who skillfully captures the essence of Smith's distinguished personality. Smith was a prominent British lawyer and Conservative politician known for his influential role in shaping the political landscape of Britain during the early 20th century. This cigarette card with a straight-line caricature was issued by John Player & Sons, making it a highly sought-after collectible. In this portrait, Smith exudes an air of authority and sophistication as he dons a stylish top hat that adds to his aristocratic charm. His impeccable dress sense reflects his status as an esteemed statesman and member of the British aristocracy. Notably, Smith holds a lit cigarette in his hand, symbolizing both the era's social norms and perhaps hinting at his own personal indulgences. However, it is important to note that this caption does not endorse or promote smoking. Alick P F Ritchie masterfully brings out every detail through vivid colors and intricate brushwork. Through this print collector's lens, we are transported back to the roaring twenties when politics intertwined with fashion and elegance reigned supreme.
