EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph, titled "A proud self-made man" captures the essence of a humorous postcard from the early 20th century. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this satirical drawing showcases a caricatured figure embodying both pride and pretension. The image depicts a self-made man, exuding wealth and success with his confident demeanor. His face is adorned with an expression that combines vanity and satisfaction, making it clear that he believes himself to be at the pinnacle of achievement. This exaggerated portrayal highlights the theme of hubris, one of the seven deadly sins. Through clever use of colours and intricate details, Clarke's illustration brings this character to life. The bold hues add vibrancy to his appearance while emphasizing his flamboyant personality. Every line in this lithograph contributes to creating a sense of humor and wit that was characteristic of early 20th-century cartoons. Beyond its comedic value, this artwork offers insight into societal attitudes towards masculinity during that era. It serves as a reminder that wealth does not necessarily equate to true accomplishment or happiness. As we gaze upon this historic piece from our private collection, we are transported back in time to an age where satire reigned supreme. With its timeless appeal and artistic finesse, "A proud self-made man" continues to captivate viewers today.
