Subtitled "A Weekly Show of Political, Social and Literary Wares", it was founded by Thomas Gibson Bowles, who aimed to expose the contemporary vanities of Victorian society. A full-page, color lithograph of a contemporary celebrity or dignitary appeared in most issues, and it is for these caricatures that Vanity Fair is best known today. These prints are often referred to as "Spy Cartoons" after Leslie Ward, perhaps Vanity Fair's most prolific and celebrated cartoonist, who usually signed his works "Spy".

1st Edition. Coals print Lord Durham Dec. 24th, 1887 spyVanity Fair Magazine John George Lampton, 1st earl of Durham, 1792-1840, British statesman. A stormy liberal career in Parliament (1813-32), which earned him the nickname Radical Jack, culminated in the important role he played in drafting the Reform Bill of 1832 and forcing it through the House of Lords. After the Canadian rebellion of 1837-38 he was appointed high commissioner and governor-general of Canada, with the mission of winning back disaffected Canadian opinion by recommending political reforms. Durham submitted (1839) the Report on the Affairs of British North America, which has been called the Magna Carta of the British colonies. Its chief proposal was for the creation of an executive council responsible to the colonial assembly, which would allow Canada self government within the British empire. Other recommendations included reform of the land laws, railroad building to unify the country, and the union of Upper andLower Canada to improve administration and finance and to extinguish the nationalism of the French Canadians.

Returning to London in 1840, he regularly contributed for twenty years to the 'Spectator.' He also wrote for other newspapers, among them the 'Globe' and the 'Morning Chronicle.

Three (3) important and scarce Parliamentary Papers published between the nomination of Lord Durham as Governor General and High Commissioner to British North America after his resignation in September 1838; dealing with the Durham Report's criticism and justification for their disagreement to this report. Lord Durham had a number of political enemies in both Great Britain and Canada They scrambled to respond to his report after the fact with Lord Durham not focus on these and his very large report submitted in February 1839 with the 5 appendices was being absorbed, understood and debated. These Parliamentary Papers responses were written in June, July and August of 1839. Lord Durham died about a year later on July 28, 1840.

These included uniting the two Canadas into a single colony, the Province of Canada, in 1841 (Act of Union) and the report also paved the way for responsible government.Some edge open tears and paper toning, otherwise all in very good condition.John George Lambton, Lord Durham (1792-1840), 1st Earl of Durham, politician, diplomat #1 - Canada.
