EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a cartoon depiction of Gerald Graham, an esteemed English army officer who served in the Royal Engineers. Created by Edward Linley Sambourne as part of Punch's Fancy Portraits series, this artwork was published in London on March 22,1884. Gerald Graham's remarkable military career is highlighted in this caricature. Born in 1831 and passing away in 1899, he left an indelible mark on history with his bravery and dedication to duty. At just 23 years old, Graham earned the prestigious Victoria Cross during the Crimean Russo-Turkish War (1853-1856). His act of valor took place at Sebastopol on June 18th, 1855. Despite his young age at the time of this heroic feat, Gerald Graham continued to excel within the armed forces throughout his life. Rising through the ranks to become a Lieutenant-General before retiring from service, he consistently displayed exceptional leadership skills and unwavering commitment. Edward Linley Sambourne skillfully captured Graham's essence through his satirical illustration style. This cartoon portrait not only showcases the physical features of its subject but also conveys a sense of admiration for his distinguished career. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of Gerald Graham's courage and accomplishments while honoring his contributions to both England and the Royal Engineers.
