The Prince of Wales and Other Famous Americans is a 1925 book by Miguel Covarrubias, a Mexican cartoonist. It is a collection of 66 black-and-white caricatures of famous American (mostly New York-based) personalities from the 1920s.[1] The future Edward VIII, alluded to in the title, appears as the frontispiece at a race track; he had made a widely publicized visit to the United States in 1924.[2][3] Many of the drawings were originally published in Vanity Fair magazine, which employed Covarrubias as a staff cartoonist.
The book's introduction is by Carl Van Vechten.
