Am I right in thinking we can still post articles from the original Vanity Fair magazine (1860-1863)? Those issues can be accessed online.

"The Vanity Fair described on this page was a humorous weekly published in New York in the 19th century. To my knowledge, that weekly has no relation to the present-day Conde Nast publication, except for its name and its publication place. (The name was also the title of a famous Thackeray novel in the 1840s, and has been used for various magazines since then.)"

Publication History

Vanity Fair began publication in 1860, and ceased publication in 1863.

The name was also the title of a famous Thackeray novel in the 1840s, and has been used for various magazines since then.

And Thackeray got it from John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress.

I think that anything over 100 years old is in the public domain-- can be posted in whole or in part.
