| Additional Information: | This original Vanity Fair caricature print titled “A Little Lush” depicts The Hon. Sir Robert Lush, a distinguished English judge. The illustration appeared in Vanity Fair magazine on May 31, 1873, as part of the publication’s famous “Judges” series (No. 8). Celebrated caricaturist Spy (Sir Leslie Ward) created this portrait, showing Sir Robert Lush standing at a judge’s bench while wearing a traditional judicial wig and red robe. He holds a quill pen and wears spectacles, emphasizing his role in the legal profession. Spy’s distinctive style combines humor and sharp observation, making Vanity Fair portraits some of the most collectible Victorian caricature prints. Sir Robert Lush (1807–1881) served as a respected English judge and lived in St. John’s Wood, London. Vanity Fair frequently portrayed prominent political, legal, and cultural figures of the era, and Spy’s illustrations became iconic representations of Victorian society.
