Abraham Hume

Abraham Hume is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This 18th-century printmaker turned books into portable galleries, filling pages with scenes of London streets and country estates. Look for their H Beard Print Collection in the bundle, small etchings that once sold for a few shillings, now a time capsule of Georgian life. The prints show coaches on Westminster Bridge, market stalls at Covent Garden, and manor houses in the Home Counties, all etched with a sharp eye for detail.
