Uma mentira de primeira classe

1899

Nesta caricatura mordaz, Frank Nankivell combina uma sátira política afiada com o flair decorativo da era Art Nouveau. Com o Piccadilly Circus de Londres e os famosos leões da Trafalgar Square como pano de fundo, um aristocrata esquelético usando monóculo e chapéu-coco paira sobre uma figura rotunda que mastiga um charuto, vestindo um colete floral extravagante. As caricaturas exageradas zombam das pretensões da elite, capturando um confronto hilário entre a rígida tradição britânica e uma confiança estridente e ostensiva.
