H Beard Print Collection is a 17 by Cecioni, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is one of 87 prints in Vanity Fair’s “Men of the Day” series. It shows John Ruskin on 17 February 1872, drawn by Cecioni. The magazine used prints like this to poke fun at famous men. This print is part of a long-running joke series. Vanity Fair sold them like trading cards each week. The magazine mixed art and gossip in the 1870s. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A full-length portrait of John Ruskin in profile appears in the *Men of the Day* series published by *Vanity Fair* on February 17, 1872, as part of the Harry Beard Collection. The image is accompanied by the caption "The realization of the Ideal" beneath the depiction.

Livio Orazio Cecioni was the kind of man who kept a printing press in his living room and still found time to teach elementary school.
