Reginald Herbert Spooner. Lancashire & England 1899-1921. Signed Vanity Fair colour chromolithograph of Spooner. ‘Reggie’. July 18th 1906 by SPY. Very nicely signed by Spooner in black ink to lower right hand side of the image. The print laid down to board and in good condition. A rarer cricketers signature
This print has no captions, dates or other descriptive text, this is a Vanity Fair ‘proof before lettering’ image and they were produced to verify the colours and lines of the lithographs. The numbers vary, but no more than twenty proofs were printed of each caricature and the magazine bound them in numbered albums and they were offered for sale. The quality of the colours in the proof prints, their clarity of line and detail and their scarcity make them highly collectible to collectors
