January 22, 1887. A fine example of this caricaturist's work. though not as well-known as "Spy", Pellegrini did many caricatures for "Vanity Fair," where this drawing appeared. The subject is of interest to bibliophiles for he was once the owner of Bridgewater House and the famous "Ellesmere" Chaucer.
