Vanity Fair cartoons: chromolithographs by various artists 1869-1914
2385 Portraits in set
The society magazine Vanity Fair was founded in 1868 and introduced a distinctive type of satirical portraiture new to English journalism. Appearing every week, these caricatures were reproduced by the relatively new process of chromolithography and included many of the best known figures of the later Victorian period.
