T. O. Steeden

This 19th-century engraver specialized in finely detailed prints of everyday life. Their only confirmed work in this set, H Beard Print Collection (1825), shows a busy London street scene filled with carriages, vendors, and pedestrians. Look for the butcher’s stall on the right, where a shop sign reads “J. Beard, Butcher”, to spot the crisp lines and cross-hatching that made Steeden’s prints stand out in shop windows. Tap the print to zoom in and trace the individual figures.
