| Notes |
A seated, half portrait of James Plaisted Wilde, 1st Baron Penzance (12 July 1816 – 9 December 1899). He was a noted British judge and rose breeder who was also a proponent of the Baconian theory that the works usually attributed to William Shakespeare were in fact written by Francis Bacon. Carlo Pellegrini (1839 – 1889), nicknamed Ape (Italian for "bee"), was an artist who served from 1869 to 1889 as a caricaturist for Vanity Fair magazine. He was the first caricaturist that worked for Vanity Fair, originally signing his work as 'Singe' and later, and more famously, as 'Ape'). Pellegrini's work for the magazine made his reputation and he became one of the most influential artist that worked for Vanity Fair, in which his caricatures were to be printed for over twenty years. |
