Artist
Thomas Cornell
Thomas Cornell is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Thomas Cornell kept a diary written backward, he scribbled from right to left like Da Vinci, but in English. The ink in his "H Beard Print Collection" from 1786 isn’t fancy; it’s a crisp, hand-colored engraving of a man’s face that looks like it could jump off the page. Why it sticks?
The beard is so detailed you can count the individual hairs. Tap the "H Beard Print Collection" to see how a 18th-century printer made ordinary paper feel like magic.
