EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the year 1923, capturing a significant moment in American literary history. The photo features Sinclair Lewis, an esteemed American novelist and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. Lewis is depicted with great humor and charm by caricaturist Gene Markey. Dressed in his signature hat and holding a cane, Lewis appears to be bidding farewell to England as he returns home to America. His exaggerated gestures convey both a sense of grandeur and playfulness. The cartoon captures the essence of Lewis's larger-than-life personality while also poking fun at his status as a renowned author. It serves as a parody of sorts, highlighting not only his achievements but also his ability to entertain through satire. This print offers us a glimpse into an early era when literature was celebrated with wit and creativity. It reminds us of the impact that Sinclair Lewis had on American letters during this time period and beyond. Whether you are an admirer of Sinclair Lewis or simply appreciate art that combines humor with historical significance, this print is sure to captivate your imagination.
