Located in Langweer, NL
Vanity Fair Political Caricature by Spy, Westminster Terrace Scene, 1893 Description: A large and highly characteristic Vanity Fair chromolithograph titled On the Terrace, A Political Spectacle: “The Ayes have it – the Noes have it”, drawn by Sir Leslie Ward (“Spy”) and published on 30 November 1893.
