EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cartoon portrait of Thomas Brassey, an influential figure in 19th-century England. Created by the talented artist Edward Linley Sambourne for Punch's Fancy Portraits series, this illustration captures the essence of Brassey's character with its anthropomorphic face and distinctive headdress. Thomas Brassey, known as the first Earl Brassey, was not only a prominent Liberal politician but also the eldest son of renowned railway contractor Thomas Brassey. In 1876-1877, he embarked on an extraordinary journey around the world aboard his steam-assisted yacht Sunbeam alongside his wife and four children. This remarkable feat solidified his place in history. Sambourne's artistic prowess is evident in this studio shot portrait that depicts Brassey looking away with a profile view. The use of engraving techniques adds depth to the illustration while maintaining its classic charm. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from London in 1881, we are transported back to a time when politicians were larger than life figures who left their mark on society. This print serves as a reminder of Thomas Brassey's significant contributions to both politics and exploration during his lifetime.
