[English Gentlemen], from Vanity Fair chromolithograph, on wove papers. Printed by Vincent Brooks Day & Son., with various dates from 1875 to 1897. Professionally framed with black and gilt frames and beige silk mats, with margins, apparently in excellent condition, not examined out of the frames. Vanity Fair was a weekly magazine published in London, founded & edited by Thomas Gibson Bowles. His aim was to expose to contemporary vanities of Victorian society. From 1868 to 1914, full page colour lithographs appeared in most weekly issues, frequently lampooning or lauding their subjects which included artists, athletes, royalty, politicians, scientists, authors, actors, sportsmen, lawyers, diplomats, soldiers, clergy, scholars and other celebrities of the day - mostly British, but also many other internationally significant personalities.

So famous have these fabulous prints become, Vanity Fair caricatures today often are referred to simply as "Spy Cartoons...
