Thus, "Spoonerisms" were born. Here he is, from the pages of the April 21, 1898 issue of Vanity Fair, looking very much like a don. His chromolithograph portrait was rendered by the most famous Vanity Fair artist, Sir Matthew Leslie Ward, aka "Spy". Matted in a 16" x 20" pH neutral mat for ease of framing in a readymade frame, this print is in excellent condition with a few nicks and creases to the page edges, as pictured. See less
