Portraits are the result of much patient studyand great labour.E veryone of them is drawn from p ersonal studyof the original ,undertaken and carried out with the purpo se of impartial fide lity.
In them the reve lation of the simple , even if brutal , truth has beensought, interpreted , and presented ; and the result is the actual man

asthe physical man hasbeen sought through his features , so hasthem oral man been sought in hiswork ; the painted effigy and the writtenaccount being thus each the comp lement of the other.

Although the portraits profess to be caricatures, there isno questionthat theywi ll go down to posterity asthe best l iving likenesses of the cognatemen of the day.
— TRUTH .
The ALBUM isnot only a capital portrait gallery, but also a d ictionaryof contemporaries, somet imes indeed touched off very happi ly , and for themost par t avo iding outrageson taste and manners. The l ikenessesare in allcases exaét to the l ife . — SATURDAY REV IEW.
The drawing is wonderfully good— bold , graceful , free -handed , and
incisive . The elaborate process of chromo-print ing by wh ich they have beenproduced hasnecessi tated the careful weigh ing and pondering of every tintbefore it hasbeen employed .
"— DAI LY TELEGRAPH .
Whether people maybe disposed at the first glance to believe it or not,
the VAN ITY FAIR cartoons wi ll be found to make good most of the shortcom ings of the photographer. Laugh at them you must , and more especiallyif you are fami l iar with the men represented ; but st i ll you laugh , not
merely because these cartoonsare laughable , but because in every qual i ty ofresemblance they are so laughably alike ."— BELL'S WEE KLY ME S S ENGE R.

The success of the clever car icatures publ ished in the
weekly per iodical cal led VAN ITY FAIR , and wh ich have attraéted so muchpopular interest in the shop windows, maybe t raced not only to thei rartist i c mer i ts, but to the inst inct ive eagerness of the publ ic to make thepersonal acquaintance of pol i t iciansand statesmen , and to ident ify thefam i l iar names with some dist inct corporeal ind ividual i ty .

The new VAN ITY FAIR ALBUM is, in every respect , worthy of itspredecessors. As ‘ Jehu Jun ior , ’ with no want ei ther of digni ty or of properpr ide, remarks in hisbr ief introduction There was need of preface twentySeven yearsago , when VAN ITY FAIR wasa new th ing and itswaresunknown
]
but now , when VAN ITY FA IR is known all the wor ld over , that need is
suppl ied by the waresthemselves.
’For the most part the car icatures are
suppl ied by that adm i rable art ist Spy , ’ whose gen iusfor l ikeness, and whoseamaz ing capacity for seiz ing the essent ial fact , and omitt ing the st ray, avo idable detai l , have long been proved to the wor ld . The letterpressisalwaysem inently readable and— what so few personal accounts of men and
thei r wayscontr ive to be— extremely accurate We are bound to saythat i t , together w i th the volumes that have gone before , const itutes an
almost invaluable comp i lat ion for anyfuture h istor ian who , having a senseof p icturesque narrat ive , maydesi re to know j ust what manner of man fi lledthe h igh placesof England— whether in sport , in the Court , on the Bench , or
in the leisurely l ife of a country gentleman— during th is our century .
SKETCH .
The inim i table Spy and hisfellow-art ists present usw i th a galleryofmen asthey are , and we can read the charaéter of the man w i th unfail ingcertainty , w i thout recourse to verbal description . The let terpress from thepen of ' Jehu Jun ior ' is terse

The Winning Post
The portrai ts are always amusing. The letterpressdescriptions of theem inent are asimpudent asever, and audaciously afford much t rue informat ion to a student Of contemporary h istory and charnéier. For the futureh istor ian such a collect ion isinvaluable, asanyreader mayimag ine who can
figure to h imself how d ifferent an idea we would have had of Hel iogabalus,Charlemagne,‘ the moral Gower, and the venerable Bede if only the port rai tsof these dist inguished personageshad appeared in VAN ITY FAIR .
— SCOT SMAN .
The admirableport raits wh ich Spy and hiscolleagueshave producedamply fulfi l the condit ions defined, and he would indeed be a super-sensi t iveindividual who would not deem it an honour to be included in these goodhumoured exaggerations.
— GLASGow HE RALD .
In thei r particular'
line there isnoth ing to compare with the volumes inwh i ch the weekly 'car toonsof VAN ITY FAIR , together w i th the accompany ingb iograph i cal and cr i t ical not ices of the i r subjects, are annually collected .
The collection isof inestimable value asa record of how these prom inen tpersonages appea red to thei r contemporar ies. The volume is a wor thysuccessor to the twenty-five wh ich preceded it. Jehu Jun ior has, asusual ,per formed hispart of the task with an excellent appreciat ion of hissubjeéts'value , and with occasional touches of a sub-acid humour wh ich isnot to bedesp ised .

The twenty-sixth VAN ITY FAIR ALBUM contains a wonderful variety ofportraitsof contemporary men of note . The distinétive character ist ic of thedrawings is, in the words of caust ic, clever Jehu Junior,’ that they ignoreaffeétations, add noth ing to their subjeas, but merely picture them astheyare seen , in uncompromising truth .

It isan excellent volume . The portraitsare a more ar t ist ic set on thewhole than we have seen in VAN ITY FA IR for the last year or two , the car icatures less crude and none the less amusing .

Extractsfrom Opinionsof thePress.
The moving l ife of the t ime isnowhere else quite so well presented asinthe weekly cartoonsof VAN ITY FAIR , wh ich have now been collected year byyear unt i l they fi ll the goodly number of 27 volumes. There ishardlyanyundertak ing of a simi lar character wh ich hasbeen near ly so well sustained overa longper iod asthe cartoon ingof VAN ITY FAIR . Astoundinglytrue, wh i lst being also dist inguished by a genuine and, as a rule , a not
unk indly humour . The por trai t of Ph i l M ayin thisvolume isa quite wonderfulsuccess. Ph i l Mayhasdrawn hisown portrai t hundredsof t imes, but hehasnever looked so much l ike h imself in anydrawing , ei ther from hisown oranother band , as he does in M r. Ward ’s VAN ITY FAIR cartoon . JehuJunior st ill keepsup a bright accompaniment to the portraits . The l i ttleweekly descr ipt ions or b iograph ies— somet imes of only a few l ines- are as
bright and cr isp asever , wh ich issay ing allthat it isnecessary in the wayofpraise .

The portrai tsare ascom ical as ever in the i r merci less reproduct ion ofthe humorous aspeéts in the physiognom ies and in the bear ing of thecelebr i t ies represented ; and the b iograph ical not ices are full Of the goodnatured impudence to which the Plu tarch of the paper isnow hab i tuallyaddicted . I t is an endlesssource of amusement to turn over the piéturesand there are few l ivel ier ways of gaining a passable knowledge of contemporaryb iography than reading Jehu Jun ior ’s’ paragraphs, and wonder ingwhere he getshisinformation .

Extractsfrom Opinionsof thePress.
All sorts and condi tionsof men of the time are portrayed without mal ice,but w ith gen ial humour , in the twenty-seventh volume of the VAN ITY FAIRAlbum . The b iograph ical and cr itical comments on the var ious l ikenessesin th isunconvent ional portrai t gallery are em inently charaéteristic ofJehu Junior , ’ and that isonlyanother wayof saying that they are spicy andcr isp , w i tty and dry .
— ST ANDARD .
The car icature portrai tsof VAN ITY FAIR are alwaysa welcome rel iefafter the smooth , mechan ically- fai thful exercises in permanent photographywh ich come forth in these daysin such prodig iousabundance . The portrai tsby Spy and hiscolleaguesmaynot be allequally happy , but at leas t theyare stamped with the art ist ’s style and method , and Show how sovereigns,statesmen, j udges, and men of the daypresent themselves to hiseye .
The shor t b iographical not ices by Jehu Jun ior ’ wh ich accompany all theport rai tsare character ised , asheretofore , by an agreeable smar tnessand hereand there a quaint piece of covert humour wh ich wi ll be rel ished by thesympathet i c reader.
