Illustrations for Thackeray's Vanity Fair
Thackeray drew several kinds of illustrations for Vanity Fair:
- full-page drawings for which he wrote
captions,
- large, but not full-page, drawings with no
captions,
- small sketches,
- drawings using the first letter of each
chapter.
The choices below include the first three kinds of drawings, but not
the initial letter drawings.
