EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the likeness of Mr Mitchell Henry, a prominent figure in English finance and politics during the late 19th century. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this satirical cartoon was featured in Vanity Fair on April 19,1879. Mr Mitchell Henry's portrait exudes confidence and authority as he stands tall with his hands clasped behind his back. His distinguished appearance is accentuated by his well-groomed beard and mustache, which add to his air of sophistication. As an advocate for Home Rule in Ireland, Mr Mitchell Henry played a significant role in British politics. Serving as a Member of Parliament for Galway County from 1871 to 1885 and later representing Glasgow Blackfriars and Hutchesontown from 1885 to 1886, he tirelessly supported the cause of self-government for Ireland. This caricature showcases not only Mr Mitchell Henry's political influence but also highlights the power of satire as a means of commentary during that era. The artist employs scathing wit to convey both admiration and criticism towards Mr Mitchell Henry's stance on Home Rule. Preserved within this private collection print, this piece offers us a glimpse into the world of Victorian politics while showcasing the artistic talent that brought these satirical drawings to life.
