-
A collection of 90 full page lithographs from Vanity Fair, illustrations by SPY (Sir Leslie Ward) and APE (Carlo Pellegrini) as well as a large number that are anonymous. Lithographed by Vincent Brooks, Day & Son. Facing most of the lithographs, is the biography, mostly written by Gibson as Jehu Junior, written in a neat manuscript hand. (There is a tipped in plate bearing the owner / compiler's name and signature to the inside front board, but we have been unable to identify them). Four of the biographies have the subject's autograph tipped in to the page. These are Sir Francis Grant (Scottish portrait painter and President of the Royal Academy). He was a keen hunter, and this also has a large sketch of a huntsman by Grant tipped in. Richard Boyle (9th Earl of Cork and Orrery). Frederic Leighton (Painter, draughtsman and sculptor. He also had the distinction of the shortest peerage in history. He died the day after being made a Lord). Reverend Arthur Stanley (Dean of Westminster). Unpaginated, but approximately 180 pages. with 90 lithographs pasted in and approximately 85 biographies. The scrapbooks have black boards and black leather spines. The spines are significantly rubbed, and have some splitting. There are gilt titles to the front boards. Inside, the volumes are both in good condition, with a touch of marking, but overall very clean condition. 380 by 270mm (15 by 10Ÿ inches).
