List of Vanity Fair (British magazine) caricatures (1895–1899)

This is a list of caricatures published in the British weekly magazine Vanity Fair from 1895 to 1899. Vanity Fair was renowned for its distinctive caricatures of prominent figures, including politicians, royalty, scientists, artists, sportsmen, and socialites. These caricatures, typically chromolithographs, were often accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of the subject.

The period from 1895 to 1899 represents a specific segment of Vanity Fair's long publication history, during which numerous individuals were immortalized in this artistic style. Identifying each caricature typically involves noting the subject's name, the artist (often signing with pseudonyms such as "Spy" for Leslie Ward or "Ape" for Carlo Pellegrini), the publication date, and any accompanying title or description. Collectors and researchers often consult indexes and online databases to identify specific caricatures from this era. The caricatures provide a glimpse into the societal values and perceptions of prominent figures during the late Victorian period in Britain. The magazine ceased publication in 1914.
