About the Item

19th English Victorian color lithograph print titled 'Eminent Men' with the faces of prominent men crowded together in a large oval, in the original giltwood frame. Unusual and very cool! A new mat was added at some point, not by me. This is truly a very charming work of art, you can make a game of trying to identify all of the famous (or somewhat famous, or no longer famous...) men in the print. This comes with a companion piece, 'Eminent Women', they were printed as a pair but I am willing to break them up if your preference is for one or the other sexes. (The women are in a separate listing, see last photo) William Warman, Artist; oval lithograph by J. W. Giles, London, published 17th August 1856, by Owen Bailey, 22 Newman Street, Oxford Street.

19th C., Vanity Fair Framed Chromolithograph of Gentlemen Ex. Christie's
By Sir Leslie Ward
Located in Morristown, NJ
[English Gentlemen], from Vanity Fair chromolithograph, on wove papers. Printed by Vincent Brooks Day & Son., with various dates from 1875 to 1897. Professionally framed with black and gilt frames and beige silk mats, with margins, apparently in excellent condition, not examined out of the frames. Vanity Fair was a weekly magazine published in London, founded & edited by Thomas Gibson Bowles. His aim was to expose to contemporary vanities of Victorian society. From 1868 to 1914, full page colour lithographs appeared in most weekly issues, frequently lampooning or lauding their subjects which included artists, athletes, royalty, politicians, scientists, authors, actors, sportsmen, lawyers, diplomats, soldiers, clergy, scholars and other celebrities of the day - mostly British, but also many other internationally significant personalities. Over 2,300 of these colour cartoons were printed, and they are considered the chief cultural legacy of the magazine, forming a pictorial record of many of the most significant public figures of the period. They are renowned throughout the world and highly collectible and recognisable. Famous artists contributed to Vanity Fair, typically under pen names. The best remembered today is 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 simply as "Spy Cartoons...
