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.
