In 1869, Thomas Gibson Bowles employed Pellegrini to produce caricatures for his new society magazine, Vanity Fair. His caricature of Benjamin Disraeli was the first lithograph to appear in the magazine. It was so popular that it helped to establish the idea of the coloured caricature in British magazines. Signing his work 'Ape', Pellegrini continued working for the journal for the rest of his life.
