EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mr Opfer of Blowitz" we are transported back to the satirical world of Vanity Fair in 1885. Created by the talented artist Carlo Pellegrini, this colour lithograph showcases his exceptional ability to capture both humor and critique within a single image. The subject of the caricature, Mr Opfer, is none other than a prominent figure from The Times newspaper. With scathing satire as his weapon, Pellegrini depicts Mr Opfer with exaggerated features and comical expressions. This satirical drawing serves as a commentary on the power and influence held by individuals in positions of authority during that era. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that Pellegrini's intention was not only to entertain but also to provoke thought. Through his artistry, he challenges societal norms and sheds light on the absurdities present within contemporary politics and journalism. This particular print is part of a private collection belonging to an unknown owner. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Peter Jackson Collection allows us access into an important period in history where political cartoons played a significant role in shaping public opinion. Overall, "Mr Opfer of Blowitz" stands as a testament to Pellegrini's talent for combining artistic skill with social commentary. It serves as a reminder that even today, art continues to be an influential medium for expressing dissenting opinions and challenging established narratives.
