EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created by the skilled hand of British artist Sherriffe in 1927, immortalizes the larger-than-life figure of American entrepreneur Harry Gordon Selfridge. Born in Ripon, Wisconsin, USA, Selfridge is best known for founding Selfridge & Co. in London in 1909. His innovative approach to retail transformed the department store landscape in Europe, making it a destination for shoppers from all walks of life. Selfridge's magnetic personality and visionary business acumen are brilliantly captured in this playful yet insightful caricature. With a twinkle in his eye and a confident smirk, Selfridge exudes charisma and charm. His impeccable attire, complete with a striped waistcoat and bow tie, speaks to his refined taste and commitment to style. The backdrop of this image is the bustling energy of Selfridges, with its iconic Oxford Street façade and throngs of shoppers. The caricature not only encapsulates the spirit of the man but also the excitement and allure of the department store he created. Sherriffe's masterful brushstrokes and keen observation bring this iconic figure to life, offering a unique glimpse into the world of one of the most influential retail pioneers of the 20th century. This print is a must-have for any collection devoted to the history of retail, British art, or the enduring legacy of Harry Gordon Selfridge.
