EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mr Marcus Beresford (colour litho)", we are transported back to the year 1876, where satire and caricature reigned supreme. The image, created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, showcases his exceptional talent for capturing both the physical likeness and satirical essence of his subjects. Mr Marcus Beresford, a prominent figure in Southwark during that time, is depicted with exaggerated features and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. This Vanity Fair cartoon serves as a scathing satire on the societal norms and political landscape of the era. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring an added layer of life to the composition. It is evident that every stroke was carefully placed to convey not only Mr Beresford's appearance but also his personality. Through this artwork, Ward manages to encapsulate both humor and critique within one frame. This particular piece belongs to a private collection but has found its way into Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate. As we gaze upon this satirical drawing from over a century ago, it reminds us of the power that art holds in reflecting society's values while entertaining its viewers simultaneously.
