Set 6 Antique Victorian Vanity Fair Spy Ape Prints
A set of 6 antique Victorian Vanity Fair framed prints dating from 1875-1896. Beautifully mounted and glazed in modern frames, these antique prints are a good collection to bring a little satirical humour to your wall.
Vanity Fair was a weekly magazine published in Britain from 1868 to 1914 and offered a satirical take on Victorian society, publishing articles on fashion, current events and the latest scandals. A full-page color lithograph caricature of a contemporary celebrity or dignitary appeared in most issues, and it is for these caricatures that Vanity Fair is best known today. The primary artists were Carlo Pellegrini “Ape” and Leslie Ward “Spy”, and it is because of the latter artist as to why these prints are often collectively referred to as “Spy Prints”.
This set of 6 includes:
“Russia”, A caricature portrait of Count Shouvaloff, an influential Russian statesman and a counsellor to Tsar Alexander II. Published on February 13th 1875 in Vanity Fair part of “Statesmen No.194”. By artist Carlo Pellegrini “Ape”.
