5 out of 5 stars The 'Spy' Legal Cartoons from 'Vanity Fair' - what fun!.......2007-05-22

This splendid book contains excellent colour reproduction prints of the best of the legal cartoons by 'Spy,' as published in 'Vanity Far' in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The leading British judges and counsel of the period all seem to be there, in frameable sizes and with the original text descriptions re-printed, and an added bonus is the pack of eight loose prints in a pocket at the back of the book. (Curiously, the one error that I have found relates to my late second cousin three times removed, Mr John George Witt, Q.C./K.C., 1836 - 1906, who has erroneously been titled 'Sir John George Witt'). There are 128 pages about 12 1/2 inches by about 9 1/2 inches, the publishers have done a good job, and the whole thing is such fun!

4 out of 5 stars Entertaining.......2002-12-31

Excellent "coffee table book." Caricatures are sort of formal but funny. Very large/heavy book. Great for older/more mature legal professionals.

4 out of 5 stars A RARE SECOND-BEST OF SPY'S.......1998-01-19

To those who are looking for Spy's legal caricatures, this work serves as a near second-best to the original appearing in Vanity. Good quality prints in frameable size. It would have been better if the write-up appears alongside the caricatures and not serially at the end of the book, making cross referencing extreamly burdensome. Don'r forget its a heavy book! The selection of the 8 prints is also dissappointing, although this is highly personal. Ong Sim Ho (Singapore)
