ABOUT VANITY FAIR

|
Leslie WARD

Carlo
PELLEGRINI
'APE' |
|
They are
renowned throughout the world and highly collectible. They range in price
from a few $'s up to several hundred for the scarcer & more sought after
subjects. Best known and most remembered for its
colour caricatures, over 2300 were published in Vanity Fair during its
nearly half century in print, from 1868 until 1914. Famous artists
contributed to Vanity Fair, typically under pen names.
The best known was
Leslie WARD (1851-1922), who signed his works as
Spy, and whose caricatures account for well over half of those
featured in Vanity Fair. So famous have these fabulous prints become, Vanity
Fair caricatures today often are referred to and recognised immediately
simply as Spy Cartoons. Whether drawn by Ward himself or another of the
Vanity Fair artists, such as
Carlo
PELLEGRINI, aka 'Ape', all caricatures from this exceptional and unique
publication have become prized collectibles. They are embodiments
epitomising British society during the Empire's most glorious years. |
