Born in Capua, Italy, in 1839, Pellegrini moved to London in the 1860s, where he began contributing to Vanity Fair in 1869. His caricatures were celebrated for their sharp wit, exaggerated features, and the ability to capture the essence of his subjects, who were often political figures, celebrities, and other notable personalities of the time.

"Popular Judgement" exemplifies Pellegrini's talent for blending artistry with satire. The caricature likely reflects the public opinion or societal attitudes towards a particular individual or event during that period. Pellegrini's work was not merely about humor; it often provided insightful commentary on the social and political climate of the era. His ability to distill complex personalities and situations into a single, impactful image made his work both entertaining and thought-provoking.

The publication of "Popular Judgement" in Vanity Fair would have reached a wide audience, contributing to the public discourse of the time. Pellegrini's caricatures, including this one, remain significant for their historical value and artistic merit.
