Francis Frank Leslie Matthew Smart Teck Vanity Ward 1902

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a vintage cartoon portrait of Prince Francis of Teck, Frank, from the Edwardian era, published in Vanity Fair on July 17th, 1902. Prince Francis, who later became the Duke of Teck, is depicted in this playful and whimsical drawing, wearing a top hat and a dark coat, exuding an air of sophistication and intelligence. The prince's piercing gaze and slight smile suggest a hint of mischief and mystery, as if he might be a secret spy or a master of intrigue. The cartoonist, Leslie Matthew Ward, skillfully captures the essence of the royal figure, adding a touch of vanity and charm to the portrait. The prince's regal attire, complete with a crisp shirt and a neatly tied cravat, further emphasizes his status as a member of the British royal family. The cartoon was published during a time of great change and excitement in the royal world. King Edward VII had recently ascended to the throne, and the Edwardian era was in full swing. This period was marked by opulence, elegance, and a sense of fun and frivolity, as reflected in the lively and humorous style of the Vanity Fair cartoons. Prince Francis of Teck went on to marry Princess Mary of Teck, who later became Queen Consort of King George V. Together, they had five children and played an important role in the British monarchy throughout the 20th century. This charming and intriguing portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a royal figure during a fascinating era in history.
