Stooped Victorian Philosopher – Vanity Fair Men of the Day No. 12, 1870 This original chromolithograph was published in Vanity Fair on October 22, 1870, as Men of the Day No. 12. Captioned “The Diogenes of the Modern Corinthians without his Tub,” the portrait presents an elderly intellectual figure rendered with dry wit and philosophical irony. The exaggerated stoop and penetrating gaze recall classical references while firmly situating the subject in Victorian society. Such early Vanity Fair portraits are valued for their literary allusions and subtle satire, appealing both to collectors of 19th-century culture and to interior designers seeking characterful historical imagery.
Condition: Good original condition with light age toning. Technique: Chromolithograph Maker: Vanity Fair (after Ape), London, 1870
