Artist
W. Clarke
W. Clarke is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
English printmaker in the early 1800s, W. Clarke turned news into pictures. The H Beard Print Collection shows broadside scenes, street life, fairs, market days, etched in crisp lines, the kind of images you’d tack up in a tavern or print shop. Each print packs a crowd into one sheet: hawkers, coaches, dogs, hats everywhere you look.
Want a bigger slice of that world? Tap H Beard Print Collection and zoom in on the corner where the printer forgot to wipe the ink off the plate.
