With meticulous attention to detail, Ward captures every nuance that defines Stevenson's character. This satirical drawing not only entertains but also serves as social commentary on the nature of championships and their significance within society. Through his scathing satire, Ward invites viewers to question conventional notions of success and achievement. The print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where Vanity Fair was renowned for its witty cartoons that captured both public figures and ordinary individuals alike. This particular piece from the Peter Jackson Collection provides valuable insight into popular culture during that time period.
