About the Item

Title: Bearded Victorian Statesman Seated – Vanity Fair Statesmen, 1870 Description: This original Vanity Fair portrait was issued on July 2, 1870. Unlike many standing profile caricatures, this seated composition creates a sense of authority and introspection. The prominent beard and relaxed posture give the image strong visual presence. Such seated portraits are particularly desirable, as they offer greater compositional depth and decorative balance. This example is well suited for display as a focal piece within a library or study. Condition: Good original condition with gentle age toning. Framing tips: A soft beige or stone-colored mat combined with a medium walnut frame highlights the warmth of the beard and clothing tones. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Vanity Fair (after Ape), London, 1870 Keywords: Vanity Fair caricature, Victorian caricature print, Men of the Day, Statesmen series, Ape cartoon, 19th century British satire, antique political caricature, Victorian portrait print, chromolithograph Vanity Fair, British statesman caricature, Victorian clergy print, antique magazine illustration, historical caricature art, London Vanity Fair print, interior wall art antique, library wall decor
