Artist

Collyer

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

This printmaker captured London’s daily life in the late 1700s, etching scenes like H Beard Print Collection (14th January 1785) from Fleet Street to Covent Garden. Their work belongs to the era’s lively print culture, sold in shop windows and coffeehouses. A single surviving sheet offers a snapshot of carriages, shopfronts, and passersby, framed by the city’s narrow lanes and gaslit glow. Look closer, notice the printer’s mark in the corner, a clue to who published the scene.
