Robert Jacob Hamerton

These 19th-century prints show everyday scenes and figures in crisp lines, typical of British illustration before photography took over. See “H Beard Print Collection” (1841) for a street market in London’s East End or the ca. 1830s-40s series for Regency-era shop fronts and costermongers. Tap any print to zoom in on the fine stippling and sharp outlines that define the era’s graphic style.
