A LITTLE ABOUT THESE  CARICATURE PRINTS

From 1869 to 1914 the English Vanity Fair weekly magazine featured a full page caricature of a person of prominence at that time. The artists were outstanding caricaturists, the most famous being Sir Leslie Ward, known as " Spy ", who satirized the fashionable social life of the middle and upper classes.  Among other artists were Sir Max Beerbohm, who specialized in social and literary personages, and Carlo Pellegrini known as " Ape " the first and some say the best of the early caricaturists. The majority of the prints were colored by chromo-lithography, an arduous Victorian method of printing using several limestone blocks. They were offered as collectors items to encourage sales of the magazine and have since become highly sought after by collectors and non-collectors alike. Among the subjects are sportsmen, lawyers/judges, artists, actors, explorers, politicians, and men of vision, to name but a few, many of whom eventually became famous historical figures. The prints we have listed are only a small sample of the caricatures in our large inventory which of course is constantly changing as we continue to buy and sell them.  We have accesss to almost every one !

REMEMBER -  The keyword search in the store only responds to what you type in so try Category,
Name, Caption or Year but NOT all at once. KEEP IT SIMPLE ! The fewer the keywords the more chance you have of finding what you are looking for.
One word is best. A surname, caption or a date. 
The categories are all listed on the left hand side.

AND FINALLY
We do not have all our inventory in the store. So if you don't find what you are looking for please ASK !
