September 26, 2009-January 3, 2010, Toronto – Starting this fall, The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is hosting an exhibition of portraits from venerable high society rag Vanity Fair. The magazine — whose history reaches back over 95 years – has amassed a broad and eclectic repertoire of portraits throughout the years.

The collection includes portraits from the magazine’s first incarnation early in the last century, featuring subjects like of Claude Monet, Arthur Miller, Charlie Chaplin and Ernest Hemingway. This will be the travelling exhibit’s only Canadian stop, on a tour that marks the 25th anniversary of Vanity Fair’s relaunch.
