In addition, the increasing motorization and its effects also found entry into his works.
Shortly before the turn of the century Thackeray had settled as an artist in London. He produced over 800 postcards of various designs for the company "Raphael Tuck & Sons of London" and was a member of the "Royal Society of British Artists", the counterpart to the better known "Royal Academy". The "London Sketch Club," which he co-initiated and which later expanded to include the departments of painting and watercolor art, was a private club for artists who designed commercial graphic works for newspapers, magazines or books. It was founded as a spin-off from another drawing club and was due to the fact that members could not agree on cold or hot soup as the end of a busy evening, and hints at the typical British humor in such matters. Thackeray produced numerous humorous drawings for the British press, such as the satirical magazine Punch. He held up a mirror to the English society of the Edwardian age, mockingly illuminating its mannerism and outdated values. In the period before World War I, he traveled to Egypt and found a rich field for humorous depictions of English tourism, which have lost none of their charm to this day. Be it overweight gentlemen, under which the panting packhorse almost collapses, or ladies inappropriately dressed for the heat, who were more interested in the correct fit of their hats than in the local culture. A favorite subject was the English snob, who considered the natives primitive, but did not know how to conceal his own primitiveness by ignoring customs and traditions. Red-faced Englishmen who wanted to climb the pyramids at the greatest heat of the day or who believed they had the upper hand in haggling in the bazaar. English travelers who adhered to the British daily routine even in their hotels and lodgings, and who wanted to show Egyptians their way of life, all of this was closely observed by Thackeray and rendered in the range from subtle to overly obvious.
In addition to postcards, books of sketches and prints by Lance Thackeray on his Egyptian phase have survived. He was an excellent observer of English high society and his drawn humor has a validity to this day that allows the viewer to find himself in it and laugh at himself.
