Ape Junior's Vanity Fair caricatures capture public life in a single year, 1911, from the King himself to the growing world of film. The sitters include George V, Robert Baden-Powell and the cinema entrepreneur Montagu Pyke, with the legal figures Christopher Clarke Hutchinson and Mr Justice Scrutton and the aristocrat Sidney Elphinstone. The National Portrait Gallery records Ape Junior as a Vanity Fair caricaturist of this period but gives no settled identity, so the name is best taken as the artist's published signature.
