EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and satirical caricature of Mr Richard Anthony Proctor, an esteemed figure in the field of astronomy. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this colour lithograph was published on 3rd March 1883 in Vanity Fair magazine. Proctor's passion for astronomy is beautifully depicted through this humorous cartoon. The artist skillfully captures his dedication to the study of celestial bodies and planetary science. With a touch of satire, Ward portrays Proctor as an intellectual figure immersed in scientific methods and exploration. The composition cleverly combines elements of space and astronomy with a scathing sense of humor. This satirical drawing offers viewers a glimpse into the world of astronomical research during that era while simultaneously poking fun at its intricacies. Displayed within private collections, this artwork from Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and Proctor's significant contributions to the scientific community. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Proctor's legacy but also how art can playfully depict even the most serious subjects.
