Ape, aka Carlo Pellegrini, was the first of the Vanity Fair caricaturists, although Vanity Fair prints became synonymous with his successor Leslie Ward, or 'Spy'. #vanityfairprints #carlopellegrini (at Lexington, Kentucky)

‘He rides for Lord Durham’—A new-to-me Vanity Fair classic jockey Spy print of Willie Griggs arrived already nicely framed. It’s just in time for the Spring Keeneland races with the Kentucky Derby not far behind. . . #vanityfairprints #spyprints #jockeyprints #sirleslieward (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMukofSrXke/?igshid=tgltzfiyddly

Just got a favorite Vanity Fair print back from South Hill Gallery after a little rehab. It’s in the same vintage frame and glass, but the interior glass has been cleaned, the print flattened, and new backing material employed. I also love the Mylar sleeve for the information sheet on the back. It looks great for a print that’s over 130 years old. . . #vanityfairprints #spyprints #caricatures #jockeys #equestrian #sharethelex #lexky #realtor (at Lexington, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/alancornett/p/Bu_l4Sbn40I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=83uzut77zi7n
