Bilder Carlo Pellegrini (1839–1889) – The Right Honourable Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue – Chromolithograph (1869)

Beskrivning

This famous caricature depicts The Right Honourable Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue (1823–1898), a prominent British Liberal politician who held significant posts, including Chief Secretary for Ireland. The figure is shown in his signature style: standing in profile, bent slightly forward, wearing a frock coat and top hat, leaning on a cane. The print title humorously summarizes his accomplishments: "He married Lady Waldegrave and governed Ireland."

This is a political and social caricature published in the British weekly magazine Vanity Fair on August 14, 1869, as "Statesmen No. 28." The work was created by the magazine’s most prolific artist, Carlo Pellegrini, who signed his work with the pseudonym "Ape". Pellegrini’s elegant, non-malicious style of caricature defined the visual identity of the magazine during the Victorian era.
