EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled "Jimmy Lowther, Conservative Politician and Sportsman," was created by an unknown artist in August 1884, during the height of the Victorian era. The subject of the drawing is James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale and 3rd Viscount Lowther (1840-1904), a prominent Conservative politician and avid sportsman from the north of England. The caricature showcases Lowther's distinctive long face, topped with a top hat, and his slightly ossified, or horse-like, features, which earned him the nickname "Horsy Jim." His hand rests casually on his hip, exuding an air of confidence and authority, while his stern expression suggests a no-nonsense attitude that would have served him well in the political arena. As a Conservative politician, Lowther was a leading figure in the party during the late 19th century. He served as the Member of Parliament for Westmorland from 1868 to 1885, and later became the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1886. However, it was his passion for sports that truly set him apart. He was an accomplished horseman, huntsman, and shooter, and was known for his love of hunting and racing. This caricature captures the essence of Lowther's dual roles as a respected politician and a devoted sportsman, highlighting his horse-like features and his confident demeanor. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look at a prominent Victorian figure.
