About the Item
Sir Leslie 'Spy' Ward for Vanity Fair Magazine
An MFH with a sense of humour (1905)
Lithograph
36 x 21 cm
Published in Vanity Fair on 23rd November 1905.
The 'MFH with a sense of humour' depicted here is Richard Greville Verney, 19th Baron Willoughby de Broke (1869 - 1923), British peer, Conservative politician, and Master of Foxhounds.
Verney was the son of Colonel Henry Verney, 18th Baron Willoughby de Broke and Geraldine Smith-Barry, and was educated at Eton College and New College, Oxford.
The historian George Dangerfield described Verney as "a genial and sporting young peer, whose face bore a pleasing resemblance to the horse. ... He had quite a gift for writing, thought clearly, and was not more than two hundred years behind his time." He wrote a book on foxhunting called "Hunting the Fox", which was published in 1921 and remains an acclaimed text on the sport today.
Verney represented Rugby, Warwickshire, as an MP from 1895–1900. In 1902 he succeeded his father as 19th Baron Willoughby de Broke.

Sir Leslie Ward
Vanity Fair was a weekly magazine of social, literary and political content which was published in London from 1868 until February 5, 1914. It was favorite of Victorian and later, Edwardian England. Most popular of its features were the wonderful full page caricatures of famous men and women of the day. These lithographs remain Vanity Fair’s greatest legacy. The two most famous artists who worked for Vanity Fair were “Ape” (Carlo Pellegrini) and “Spy” (Leslie Ward), but many other artists provided images for this long running series of delightful caricatures.

- Cecil Legard 'A Judge' Vanity Fair cartoon by Cuthbert "CB" BradleyLocated in London, GBCuthbert "CB" Bradley for Vanity Fair Magazine "A Judge" - The Rev Cecil Legard 11 July 1901 Lithograph 21 x 37 cm CB's cartoon depicts The Rev Cecil Legard (1843-1918), the Rector of Cottesbrooke and heir to the baronetcy. As well as a clergyman, Legard was a noted sportsman and hound expert; he was a steeplechase rider, and also edited the Foxhound Kennel Stud Book. CB depicts him judging hounds, excellently outfitted; as the biography on the reverse of the mounted lithograph notes, he might be 'the best judge of a foxhound in England'. A copy of the cartoon is held by the Kingston Lacy Estate in Dorset. Cuthbert Bradley was also a sporting man - he famously authored 'Fox-Hunting from Shire to Shire with Many Noted Packs' and worked as a sporting journalist for The Field. As well as illustrating for Vanity Fair, he painted polo and foxhunting scenes, and other pictures of equestrian interest. The majority of his Vanity Fair cartoons are of hunting men.
