EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Samuel Smiles, a remarkable Scottish writer, physician, surgeon, and social reformer. Created in 1882 by the talented artist Spy (Sir Leslie Ward), this colorful portrait showcases Smiles' distinguished appearance and Victorian-era charm. Smiles, born in 1812 and passing away in 1904, was widely known as the author of "Self Help" a groundbreaking book that inspired countless individuals to strive for self-improvement. This caricature from Vanity Fair perfectly encapsulates his influential role as a social reformer during the 19th century. With his impressive whiskers and dignified countenance, Smiles exudes an air of wisdom and authority. His occupation as a doctor is evident through his professional attire and confident posture. As one gazes upon this image, it becomes clear that he dedicated his life to both medicine and literature. Hailing from Scotland, Smiles played an instrumental role in shaping British society through his writings on self-help and personal development. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as well as the impact he had on people's lives. Thanks to Ann Ronan Pictures for preserving this significant piece of history through their collection. It allows us to appreciate not only Sir Leslie Ward's artistic talent but also Samuel Smiles' contributions to science, literature, and social progress during the nineteenth century.
