J. Kitchingman

J. Kitchingman is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

J.K. (we’re not sure what the J stands for) spent his days carving small, nimble prints that look like they popped off a crowded London street. One afternoon in 1787 he etched a single sheet so full of wigs, wheelbarrows and wide-eyed shoppers that the scene still feels like a time-travel postcard. If you squint at the print titled “31st August 1787,” you’ll spot a delivery boy carrying two chickens and a loaf of bread, proof that everyday chaos never changes. Hunt down the H. Beard Print Collection to see the whole sheet before you.
