Description
-
Two sticks-the left one forked, the right one pointed-hold up a banner with the title Vanity Fair. Each letter is on a separate piece of paper, connected by a string tied to the sticks. Beneath the banner is printed the subtitle and author, A Novel without a Hero by William Makepeace Thackeray. At the base of the banner, a haggard man with a plumed helmet is lounging against an open chest, holding up a mirror from which he peruses his reflection. By his side are a doll and what appears to be a handmade axe or hammer, with a flat rectangular stone or piece of wood tied to a longer, thinner stick. In the background can be seen trees, a fence, and several buildings. The text under the illustration has been updated from the original information to reflect the current printing.
