Editor’s note: The weekly magazine Vanity Fair was published in London from 1868 to 1914….from early 1869 each issue carried a caricature of a notable person of the day, lithographed in full colour; through the years these reproductions have become collector’s items….In this book a selection of over eighty caricatures is presented, of characters who were all connected either directly or indirectly with events in what was a turbulent era in southern Africa.
