About the Item
Victorian Clergyman Caricature – Vanity Fair Men of the Day, 1870
This original chromolithograph was published in Vanity Fair on December 31, 1870, as part of the influential “Men of the Day” series. The portrait depicts a senior clergyman rendered with restrained satire, emphasizing gesture, posture, and character rather than exaggeration. This approach typifies Vanity Fair’s early success in combining social observation with refined visual humor.
Produced during the formative years of the magazine, the print reflects the period when Vanity Fair portraits were widely collected and displayed as individual works. The subtle coloring and calm composition make it a particularly elegant example of Victorian caricature art, appealing both to collectors and interior designers.
Condition: Good original condition with light age toning consistent with period.
Framing tips: A warm off-white or light ivory mat board works best, paired with a dark walnut or black-stained wooden frame. This combination reinforces the clerical theme and enhances the muted color palette.
Technique: Chromolithograph
Maker: Vanity Fair (after Ape), London, 1870
