EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward Linley Sambourne, a renowned British cartoonist and illustrator, is depicted in this self-portrait from 1892. Known for his witty and satirical works, Sambourne made a significant contribution to the world of cartooning and caricature through his long tenure at Punch magazine. Born in 1844, Sambourne began his career as an illustrator for various publications before joining Punch in 1874. Over the next three decades, he produced over 1,500 cartoons and caricatures for the magazine, many of which continue to resonate with audiences today due to their keen observations of Victorian society and culture. In this self-portrait, titled "Sammy," Sambourne playfully depicted himself with a mischievous grin and a monocle, reflecting the charisma and charm that endeared him to readers. The cartoon also showcases his exceptional drafting skills and attention to detail, which were hallmarks of his work. Sambourne's influence on the world of cartooning and illustration extended beyond Punch. He was a founding member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers and a prolific author, penning several books on art and design. His work continues to be celebrated for its historical significance and enduring humor. This self-portrait offers a glimpse into the life and work of a true master of the cartoon and caricature, Edward Linley Sambourne.
