EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a satirical cartoon titled "Lester Reiff" by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. Created in 1900 for Vanity Fair magazine, this caricature captures the essence of jockey Lester Reiff with a touch of humor and wit. The image portrays Reiff, one of the most renowned jockeys of his time, in full racing attire atop his horse Corsica. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, Ward's artistic style brings out the essence of satire that Vanity Fair was famous for during that era. Reiff's fame extended beyond Europe to France, where he gained recognition for his exceptional riding skills. This cartoon not only reflects on Reiff's success but also serves as a scathing commentary on European culture at the turn of the century. Ward's clever use of color lithography adds depth and vibrancy to this piece. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing both the physical attributes and personality traits associated with Lester Reiff. As part of a private collection now held by Fine Art Finder, this remarkable print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of early 20th-century caricature artistry while appreciating Ward's unique talent for blending satire with visual storytelling.
