Vanity Fair was originally a short-lived, Manhattan-based humorous weekly, published from 1859 to 1863. In 1868 the title was used again for a weekly magazine, subtitled 'A Weekly Show of Political, Social, and Literary Wares', founded in England by Thomas Gibson Bowles. Another American magazine used the title from 1902-1904. The British magazine covered theatre, fashion, current events and scandals, books and social events. It was known for its full-page cariacatures of prominent figures from the arts, sciences, politics, religion, athletics and business. In 1914 Condé Nast purchased the name Vanity Fair from the British publisher and the magazine relaunched in the US. This third version of Vanity Fair was merged with Condé Nast's title 'Vogue' in 1936. In 1983 Condé Nast revived the Vanity Fair title.
