Vanity Fair caricatures both lampooned and praised eminent Victorian and Edwardian Judges, Politicians, Sportsmen, Lawyers and other 'Men of the Day'. They are renowned throughout the world and highly collectible. They range in price from a few $'s up to several hundred for the scarcer & more sought after subjects. They appeared for nearly half a century, from 1868 to 1914. They were mostly lithographs, printed by Vincent, Brookes, Day.
