The famous Spy cartoons of the rich and famous from all walks of life - politics, the arts, the aristocracy, the racing scene - became world famous when they appeared in the magazine Vanity Fair in the 1920's. They are still much in evidence framed on the walls of pubs, restaurants and other public places.
