You know those old engravings of street scenes and fancy ball gowns that still show up in thrift-store frames? That’s Jefferys & Co, one of those 19th-century print shops churning out illustrated gossip for the middle class. Their real trick was turning news into pictures: coronations, crimes, and fancy hats all got the same crisp line-work.
Hunt down their “H Beard collection” and you’ll find a time capsule of waistcoats and lamp-posts that feels closer than any photograph.
