Colin is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Printmaker in the early 1800s, Colin made small, crisp etchings that collected everyday scenes. One of his prints, H Beard Print Collection, stacks dozens of quick portraits into a single sheet, think of it as a 200-year-old crowd photo. The style sits in the same era as Goya’s prints or Rowlandson’s satires, though Colin’s exact circle isn’t recorded.

Flip past the faces to see how the paper itself carries the ink, a tiny time-stamp from the hand-press age.
