EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous print captures the essence of Sir Thomas Lipton, a remarkable figure in both business and sports. In this colourful lithograph from 1926, created by Alick Penrose Forbes Ritchie, we see Lipton dressed in his yachting costume, reflecting his passion for sailing and his relentless pursuit of victory in the Americas Cup. Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton was not only a successful entrepreneur but also a philanthropist who established the iconic Lipton tea brand that still thrives today. Known for his self-made success, he became one of the most persistent challengers in the history of sailing's most prestigious race. His yacht Shamrock competed five times in the Americas Cup, showcasing Lipton's determination and love for adventure. This portrait is part of a series called Straight Line caricatures produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons during the golden age of cigarette cards. These collectible items were immensely popular before television and radio took over as sources of entertainment. The image showcases Lipton's signature bow tie, infectious smile, and distinctive cap with humorously exaggerated features. With its vintage charm and playful depiction, this print offers a glimpse into early 20th-century culture while celebrating Sir Thomas Lipton's entrepreneurial spirit and sporting achievements. It serves as a reminder that even amidst business endeavors, one can pursue their passions wholeheartedly – just like Sir Thomas did with both tea-making excellence and yachting prowess.
