A rare, distinguished and highly collectible set of ten original Vanity Fair lithograph caricature prints, dating from approximately 1890–1905. These iconic prints were published in Vanity Fair magazine and feature celebrated Victorian and Edwardian personalities—politicians, sportsmen, aristocrats, and cultural figures—captured with wit and elegance by the magazine’s famed illustrators such as “Spy” (Leslie Ward) and “Ape” (Carlo Pellegrini).
Presented as a cohesive gallery wall, each print is professionally matted in deep green matboard and housed in a matching copper-bronze wooden frame. The frames are sturdy and ready to hang; some show minor wear consistent with age, adding to the vintage charm.
Subjects include a mix of sporting figures (polo, golf, boxing), statesmen, and society gentlemen, making this a striking and handsome ensemble for a study, library, office, or traditional interior.
