EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and satirical cartoon print titled "Mr George James Thursby, Mr George" created by Leslie Matthew Ward (also known as Spy), we are transported back to the year 1907. The artwork was originally featured in Vanity Fair magazine, showcasing the artist's talent for caricature and wit. The central figure of the illustration is Mr. George James Thursby, a jockey renowned for his skill and success on the racecourse. Dressed in his racing attire, he exudes confidence and determination as he stands against a backdrop that hints at Corsica, an island known for its rugged beauty. Ward's clever use of color lithography brings out every detail of this scathing satire. With a keen eye for social commentary, the artist captures not only Mr. Thursby but also elements representing Europe and France during that era. This print serves as both entertainment and critique, highlighting French culture while poking fun at societal norms through exaggerated features and playful symbolism. It reminds us of the power art holds in reflecting our world with humor and irony. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection archives, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
