EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant work of David Low, a New Zealand-born British political cartoonist who left an indelible mark on the world of satire and editorial illustration. Born in 1891, Low began his career as a cartoonist for the Star, later moving on to draw for the Beaverbrook Evening Standard. His most iconic creations include the character Colonel Blimp, a caricature of British military and political conservatism, and a series of poignant and humorous cartoons depicting the events of World War II. One of Low's most famous works, "We're Behind You Winston," captures the spirit of unity and determination among the British people during the early days of the war. The cartoon shows a crowd of British citizens, each holding a placard with the words "We're Behind You Winston," rallying around Prime Minister Winston Churchill as he delivers a defiant speech. The image encapsulates the resilience and solidarity of the British people in the face of adversity. Low's satirical and radical approach to political commentary made him a popular and influential figure in the world of editorial cartoons. His work was known for its humorous and humorous take on current events, making it accessible to a wide audience while still maintaining a critical edge. Low's artistry and insight continue to be celebrated and studied by historians, art enthusiasts, and political commentators alike. This print is a testament to the enduring power of political satire and the legacy of a truly remarkable artist.
