Vanity Fair lithographs were produced in England from the Victorian to Edwardian period, between 1868-1914. They were caricatures of leading men, and women of the day, including prominent businessmen, politicians, lawyers, and sportsmen, etc. Vanity Fair employed several leading artists of the day, including "SPY" (Sir Leslie Ward - 1851-1922) and "APE" (Peligrini).
