Leslie Ward

Leslie Ward is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.

This British artist turned politicians and public figures into bold, watercolor caricatures for weekly print. In the late 1870s he pinned down Mr Osborne Morgan, M.P. with quick, sure strokes that made every collar tighter and every chin sharper in *Vanity Fair*. The weekly’s readers relied on these portraits to spot who mattered in Parliament. Next, tap into the framed page of *Mr Osborne Morgan, M.P* to see how ink and paper could skewer power.
