EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a satirical cartoon titled "W H Smith (colour litho)" by the talented artist Adriano Cecioni. Created in 1872, this artwork was featured in Vanity Fair and depicts William Henry Smith, the renowned owner of W H Smith newspapers. The caricature showcases Cecioni's scathing satire as he humorously portrays Smith with exaggerated features and comical elements. Displayed in vibrant color lithography, this image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the world of political cartoons during the late 19th century. With meticulous attention to detail, Cecioni masterfully conveys his message through clever symbolism and witty visual cues. The cartoon itself was published on March 9th, 1872, making it an intriguing historical artifact that sheds light on the social climate of that era. It serves as both entertainment and commentary on contemporary politics and media practices. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection is not only visually striking but also holds significant cultural value. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a history buff, this print invites you to delve into a world where satire meets artistry – inviting reflection upon society's power structures while providing amusement along the way.
