EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature lithograph of Alfred Tennyson, the renowned English poet. Created in 1871 for Vanity Fair, this parody artwork was based on a watercolor drawing by Ape (Carlo Pellegrini). Tennyson is depicted standing tall, wearing his signature late top hat and sporting a distinguished beard. The artist has captured his essence with precision, emphasizing his intellectual aura through the inclusion of glasses. Tennyson's contribution to literature cannot be overstated; he was one of the most celebrated poets of the Victorian era. His works, such as "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "Ulysses" continue to resonate with readers today. This lithograph offers a unique perspective on Tennyson's public image during his lifetime. The talented Carlo Pellegrini skillfully transformed Tennyson into an amusing yet respectful caricature that captures both his physical appearance and poetic prowess. The exaggerated features add an element of humor without diminishing the subject's dignity. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance in preserving the memory and legacy of Lord Alfred Tennyson – a literary giant whose words have left an indelible mark on our cultural heritage.
