'Statesmen. No. 737. "All Souls"' Full length portrait of Sir William Reynell Anson, 3rd Baronet PC, LL.D. (1843 –1914), a British jurist and Liberal Unionist politician from the Anson family. Sir William Anson, who became All Souls College's first lay Warden in 1881, was an active All Souls Fellow who helped in the development of the college. He was an outstanding constitutional lawyer and an active Liberal politician, and under his guidance the College developed in the direction of the advancement of learning by research and teaching. Sir Leslie Matthew Ward (1851 – 1922) was a British portrait artist and caricaturist who over four decades painted 1,325 portraits which were regularly published by Vanity Fair, under the pseudonyms "Spy" and "Drawl". Such was his influence in the genre that all Vanity Fair caricatures are sometimes referred to as "Spy Cartoons" regardless of who the artist actually was. The portraits were produced as watercolours and turned into chromolithographs for publication in the magazine. These were then usually reproduced on better paper and sold as prints. |
