Men of the Day: The Vanity Fair Caricatures

Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl

Carlo Pellegrini · Vanity Fair, 4 May 1878

Carlo Pellegrini ('Ape') presents the 4th Earl of Dunraven under the dry caption "active" — a gentle joke at an Anglo-Irish peer known for restless political energy. The figure is rendered in three-quarter profile: frock coat in warm tan, black top hat, pince-nez, a neat moustache, and an umbrella tucked under one arm with a walking cane in hand. A heraldic coronet floats upper-right, signaling his rank. Pellegrini's caricature features an elongated nose and lean frame gently exaggerated, with ruddy colouring. The plate belongs to the 'Statesmen' series (No. 272), the coronet anchoring the subject firmly in the Victorian peerage rather than the Commons.
