EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Whitelaw Reid, a prominent American journalist of the 20th century. Standing confidently with his pince-nez glasses in hand, Reid exudes an air of intelligence and authority. The lithograph by Vincent Books beautifully captures the essence of this influential writer. Reid's career was marked by his association with the New York Tribune, as indicated by the caption on this Vanity Fair caricature. Published on September 25,1902, it serves as a testament to his significant contributions to journalism during that era. Known for his insightful writing and sharp wit, Reid became a respected figure in both British and American media circles. Born on October 27,1837, Whitelaw Reid left an indelible mark on the world of literature and news reporting until his passing on December 15,1912. His work transcended borders; he was not only celebrated in America but also admired across Europe. This portrait offers us a glimpse into the life of one of America's most esteemed journalists. It reminds us of the power that words hold and pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives to shaping public opinion through their writing. As we admire this image captured by Leslie Matthew Ward (also known as Spy), we are transported back to a time when newspapers were at their peak influence - when journalists like Whitelaw Reid held immense sway over public discourse.
