EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of John Lubbock, first Baron Avebury, a remarkable figure in English history. Born in 1834 and passing away in 1913, he left an indelible mark as a prominent banker, naturalist, and archaeologist. The image showcases his multifaceted persona with great finesse. In addition to his political activities, Lord Avebury dedicated himself to extensive research on ants and other insects. His contributions to the field were so significant that they earned him widespread recognition. This cartoon by Edward Linley Sambourne from Punch magazine perfectly encapsulates his passion for entomology while adding a touch of whimsy. The illustration portrays Lord Avebury engrossed in studying these tiny creatures that fascinated him endlessly. With meticulous attention to detail, Sambourne depicts the baron amidst a swarm of ants, showcasing both their intricate anatomy and their complex social structure. Published on August 19th, 1882 in London's Punch magazine - renowned for its satirical commentary - this cartoon not only highlights Lord Avebury's scientific pursuits but also offers a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with natural history. As we admire this historical artifact captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of Lord Avebury's immense contributions to science and politics alike. His legacy continues to inspire generations of researchers who follow in his footsteps today.
