New York: A. S. Barnes and Company, 1979. HC. very good w/good dustjacket (hardcover). 222 B&W ill., 16 color plts. ISBN 0498022404 From 1868 to 1914, Vanity Fair treated eager Victorian and Edwardian readers to a weekly show of verbal and visual delights in England's first successful Society magazine. The most popular and lasting feature was the inclusion, in each issue from 1869 on, of a chromolithograph "cartoon" or caricature of a prominent personality of the day. Referred to as "the unheroic representation of heroes" by the founding editor, Thomas Gibson Bowles, the drawings soon became a British institution. Today, the total Vanity Fair "gallery" of more than two thousand prints offers a unique pictorial record of an era. This book offers a sampling of more than 200 of the caricatures with information and commentaries for collectors. 209pp.
