1889 Vanity Fair Spy Print PROOF PLATE - The Earl Of Fife Caricature Cartoon

Description: ABOUT THESE PRINTS...VANITY FAIR PROOF PLATES BACKGROUND: Produced to verify the colors and lines of the lithographs, no more than 20 proofs were printed of each caricature. These prints have no captions or dates, or other descriptive type, and the magazine bound them in numbered albums, in green leather with gilt tooling. They were offered for sale, and also awarded as prizes in the magazine's acrostic contests. At the front of each volume was a printed note from Vanity Fair giving the number of proof volume and the numbered volume in the series. The quality of the colors in the proof prints, their clarity of line and detail and their scarcity make them of considerable interest to collectors.
