[Prince Charles] Scarfe, Gerald. (b. 1936)

Prince Charles' Investiture - Signed Artist's Proof

Caricature of the young Prince Charles upon his investiture as the 21st Prince of Wales on July 1, 1969. The illustration shows the rather fey Prince practically crippled by his large ears and nose, tripping over a Welsh dragon which warns him: "There'll be a welcome in the hillside for you alright Boyo!" Color lithograph, artist's proof, signed "Gerald Scarfe" in pencil at the lower right. Unframed. 22 x 30 inches (57 x 76 cm). Fine.

For the last 60 years the caricaturist has been putting out some of the most consistently disturbing, graphic and recognizable images of people in power. (16964)
