This is a print portrait by Spy from 1890. It shows Mr. Herbert Beerbohm Tree dressed up with a cummerbund. The print comes from Vanity Fair’s famous series of celebrity portraits. Vanity Fair published these portraits weekly. They poked gentle fun at politicians, actors, and artists. This one mixes humor with a sharp, realistic style. Check out more prints by Spy at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
