Published with an introduction by Leonard Raven-Hill, Caricatures of Twenty-five Gentlemen appeared the same year as Beerbohm's first collection of essays, The Works of Max Beerbohm. Caricatures of Twenty-five Gentlemen includes portraits of many prominent writers and artists of the 1890s, including Richard Le Gallienne, Frank Harris, Rudyard Kipling, Aubrey Beardsley and George Bernard Shaw.[1]

The collection established Beerbohm's reputation as the cruelest caricaturist of his day.[2] Beerbohm was aged 24 when the book was published.

gollark: osmarksßstring: a hashmap of index in string→character, where each character can be encoded as UTF-8/16/32 individually, but the characters are all just encoded in floats either way, and the array of buckets backing the hashmap is actually a linked list, the indices are arbitrary ordinals represented as lists of floats or something, and the linked list is actually just a general purpose graph data structure abused as a list.
gollark: Diversity of nulls for, what, multiple error signal purposes.
