Lot 191: A Set of Framed Vanity Fair Chromolithographs

A set of framed chromolithographs from the Vanity Fair publication, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. The collection features satirical caricatures of notable men of the era, including a judge in formal legal robes and wig, an ecclesiastical figure in a pulpit, and a gentleman in a top hat and fur-trimmed coat holding scrolls. These prints typically feature the work of artists such as Sir Leslie Ward, known as Spy, and Carlo Pellegrini, known as Ape. The publication title Vanity Fair is clearly visible along the left-hand margins of several prints. Each lithograph is presented in a uniform gold-painted wooden frame with a cream-coloured mount.
