EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satirical cartoon titled "Sir John Bennett" by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Created on January 13,1883, for Vanity Fair magazine, this scathing satire depicts Sir John Bennett in a comical and exaggerated manner. Bennett was renowned for his expertise in clocks and timepieces during the Victorian era. In this caricature, Ward brilliantly captures the essence of Bennett's profession while injecting humor into the scene. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph add an extra layer of liveliness to the artwork. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays Bennett with exaggerated facial features and a larger-than-life presence. This playful representation highlights both his importance within society and serves as a commentary on his character or reputation at that time. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Vanity Fair's signature style, this satirical drawing offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the world of political cartoons from over a century ago. It invites us to reflect upon how public figures were portrayed through art during that period. This particular print is part of the private collection belonging to Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows enthusiasts to appreciate historical artworks like "Sir John Bennett" from the comfort of their own homes without commercial use intentions mentioned explicitly
