EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and satirical lithograph, titled "The Alderman" captures the essence of a gluttonous and overweight man in London society during the late 19th century. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) after an original artwork, this print showcases his talent for caricature and scathing satire. In this comical portrayal, we see an alderman wearing a top hat that barely fits on his round head. His bulging belly spills over his waistcoat, emphasizing his indulgent lifestyle as a gourmand. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the exaggerated features of the subject; from his double chin to his chubby cheeks, every aspect highlights the character's excessive appetite. "The Alderman" serves as a social commentary on the gluttony prevalent among certain members of London society at that time. With its bold colors and playful style, it invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with food and excess. This particular print is part of a private collection known as Look and Learn / Elgar Collection. It offers us a glimpse into historical satire through art while reminding us that such societal issues are not limited to any specific era or culture. As we observe "The Alderman" we cannot help but chuckle at its humorous depiction while also pondering our own tendencies towards overindulgence.
