Sidney Kent
Sidney Kent is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Sidney Kent was a 19th-century printmaker who spent his days hunched over copper plates in a London attic, turning out illustrations for cheap magazines before they went to bed. The thing people still point to? He saved every single scratch, smudge, and happy accident from those plates, storing them in a box labeled “H Beard Print Collection” like a packrat with a printer’s soul.
You’ll find the box in the Tate Britain’s print room, ask for it, and they’ll wheel it out on a cart for you to page through.
