EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature by renowned British artist George Whitelaw, created in 1929, features Leslie Henson, one of the country's leading entertainers and comedians, depicted as a cod fish. Henson, born in 1891, was a versatile performer who excelled in various forms of entertainment, from music hall to films and radio. Whitelaw, a master of his craft, skillfully captured Henson's essence and transformed him into a lively and humorous cod. The artist's keen observation and artistic talent are evident in the details, from Henson's expressive eyes and mischievous grin to the scales that cover his body, subtly incorporating the entertainer's distinctive features. The use of a fish as a representation is an intriguing choice, perhaps alluding to Henson's ability to entertain and captivate his audience, just as a cod can lure fishermen with its deceptive appearance. This caricature is a testament to the unique and playful nature of Whitelaw's work, which saw him create a series of humorous portraits of well-known individuals, likening them to various animals. The result is a collection of whimsical and memorable images that continue to delight and intrigue viewers to this day. Leslie Henson's career spanned several decades, and his talent and influence on British entertainment are still felt today. This caricature serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century entertainment and the remarkable artists who captured it.
