J. Lockington

J. Lockington made prints in the late 1700s, turning news and public scenes into black-and-white images for broad audiences. Their only confirmed work here is the 1776 print titled H Beard Print Collection, a single-sheet engraving likely sold on the street or pasted in shop windows. It’s a slice of printed history you can zoom in on to see tiny details, faces, fashion, or a crowd’s mood on July 9. If you like early mass media, tap the print to inspect the lines and lettering up close.
