Item description from seller

Print Sz: 13 5/8"H x 8 1/4"W Frame Sz: 17 1/4"H x 11 3/4"W Walter Winans, The Record Revolver Shot Aug 17, 1893 This caricature from Vanity Fair, published on August 17, 1893, features Walter Winans, a remarkable figure known for his skills as a marksman and his involvement in equestrian sports. The portrait is titled "The Record Revolver Shot," highlighting his exceptional ability and achievements in shooting, notably with a revolver. Walter Winans was an American who became famous not only for his shooting skills but also as a sculptor, painter, and author. His diverse talents and pursuits made him a well-known personality in both the United States and Europe, particularly in sporting circles. The caricature, drawn by 'Spy' Sir Leslie Ward, captures Winans in a shooting pose, dressed in a practical outfit suitable for a marksman, complete with knee-length breeches and a sports jacket. His intense gaze and the firm hold on his revolver reflect his concentration and mastery in the sport. The confident stance and detailed portrayal of his attire and accessories give insight into his personality and the era's sporting attire. This print would attract collectors interested in historical figures noted for their sporting prowess, as well as those who appreciate the art of caricature and the cultural context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emphasizes Winans status as a record-holder in revolver shooting and the unique blend of artistry and athleticism that defined his public and private life. The illustration in Vanity Fair was created using lithography, a popular printing technique in the 19th century. Lithography involves drawing an image with a grease-based medium on a limestone plate, then treating the surface with a chemical that ensures the ink only adheres to the drawn areas. This plate is then used to print the image on paper. The technique allows for high-quality, detailed prints that capture subtle gradations of tone and sharp contrasts, ideal for vividly portraying the unique caricatures for which Vanity Fair was known.
