EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lord Beaverbrook, also known as Max Aitken, in 1926. Alick Penrose Forbes Ritchie skillfully created this colour lithograph that now resides in a private collection. Lord Beaverbrook was an extraordinary Canadian-British figure of the early twentieth century, renowned for his business acumen, newspaper empire, and political influence. As a prominent business tycoon and newspaper magnate, Lord Beaverbrook owned several esteemed British newspapers such as The Daily Express, London Evening Standard, and the Sunday Express. His media empire played a significant role in shaping public opinion during both World Wars. Not only did he excel in journalism but also served as a Minister in the British Government during these tumultuous times. The Straight Line caricature series produced by John Player & Sons featured this striking portrait of Lord Beaverbrook among other influential figures of the era. Cigarette cards like these were immensely popular collector items before television and radio became widespread sources of entertainment. Lord Beaverbrook's impact on British society cannot be overstated; he was truly an influential figure throughout his lifetime. This remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into the life of this exceptional man who left an indelible mark on both Canadian and British history through his achievements in journalism and politics.
