EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1876 showcases Benjamin Jowett, a renowned English scholar of the 19th century. Created by the talented caricaturist Spy (Sir Leslie Ward), this artwork captures Jowett's intellectual prowess and academic stature in a humorous yet respectful manner. In the portrait, we see Jowett standing confidently with an air of intelligence surrounding him. His distinguished features are exaggerated slightly, adding a touch of parody to the image while still maintaining his likeness. The artist skillfully uses lines and shading to bring out the details of Jowett's face and attire, creating a visually striking piece. Jowett was widely recognized for his contributions to academia, particularly in translating Plato's works into English and serving as Master of Balliol College at Oxford University. This print serves as both a tribute to his scholarly achievements and an amusing representation of his personality. The lithograph reflects Sir Leslie Ward's talent for capturing not only physical attributes but also the essence of his subjects through clever exaggeration and wit. It is no wonder that Spy became known for his satirical portraits featured in Vanity Fair magazine during this era. Overall, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Benjamin Jowett—an esteemed scholar whose intellect continues to inspire generations even today.
