The British Vanity Fair, published from 1868 to 1914, built its reputation largely on a single feature: full-page caricature portraits of the era's most prominent men, printed as chromolithographs and loose enough to frame. Two artists defined the run. Carlo Pellegrini, working under the name "Ape," established the format in the early years. Leslie Ward, known as "Spy," carried it for decades after. The period originals from this tradition are among the most collectible Victorian printed works still in circulation.
