EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature by renowned British artist Tony Wysard captures the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough in a playful moment during a shoot in 1938. The Duke, John Albert William Spencer-Churchill, 10th Duke of Marlborough, is depicted with a cigar in hand and a determined expression as he takes aim, while his wife, The Hon. Alexandra Mary Cadogan, gracefully perches on a shooting stick. The Duke, styled Marquess of Blandford until 1934, was a prominent figure in British aristocracy, and this caricature is part of a series entitled "Wysard's Waxworks," which appeared in The Tatler magazine. The Duke and Duchess's shared passion for blood sports, particularly shooting, is evident in this lively and humorous portrayal. The Duke, born on September 18, 1897, passed away on March 11, 1972, and the Duchess, born on February 22, 1900, passed away on May 23, 1961. This caricature offers a glimpse into the aristocratic pastime of shooting and the playful banter between the Duke and Duchess, making it a charming addition to any collection of historical British portraits.
