EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases Admiral of the Fleet, Earl Beatty in 1926. The colour lithograph, created by Alick Penrose Forbes Ritchie, beautifully captures the essence of this distinguished naval officer. Earl Beatty, also known as David Beatty, was a prominent figure in the Royal Navy during World War I. He commanded the British battlecruisers at the historic Battle of Jutland in 1916. This pivotal moment in history saw him leading his troops with great courage and strategic prowess. The image is part of a series called Straight Line caricatures produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons during the golden age of cigarette cards from the late 19th century until World War II. These cards were immensely popular among collectors and served as both sources of entertainment and instruction before television and radio became widespread. In this portrait-like depiction, we see Earl Beatty wearing his navy uniform with pride while donning a cap that adds an element of humor to the scene. The cartoonish style brings out his personality while still highlighting his importance within the armed forces. This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also evokes feelings of admiration for Earl Beatty's contributions to our nation's military history. It is a testament to his leadership skills and bravery on behalf of our country's armed forces.
