EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr. Phil May Joins the Ranks of Punch: A Victoriana Moment Captured in Caricature by Frank Richards In the vibrant and satirical world of Victorian-era illustration, few names shone as brightly as that of Phil May. Born on April 22, 1864, Philip William May was a gifted caricaturist whose work graced the pages of esteemed publications such as The Sketch and Small Talk. His keen observational skills and witty humor quickly gained him a devoted following. In 1895, the illustrious Punch Magazine extended an invitation to Mr. May, inviting him to join their esteemed roster of contributors. The news was met with great enthusiasm by both The Sketch and Small Talk, as well as the wider artistic community. This illustration, sketched by Frank Richards, captures the essence of the momentous occasion. The image shows a jovial Phil May, seated at the Punch table, surrounded by the iconic symbols of the magazine. With a quill in hand and a mischievous glint in his eye, May seems poised to make his mark on the world of satire. The 1890s were a golden age for caricature, and Phil May was at the forefront of this artistic movement. His work, which often featured the social elite and the quirks of everyday life, resonated with readers and continues to captivate us today. This image, a testament to his talent and the excitement of his new role at Punch, remains a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian-era illustration.
