Artist
Messrs. Cadell & Davies
Messrs. Cadell & Davies is a Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
They printed news as fast as the gossip spread, Edinburgh’s daily scandals rendered in stark black-and-white, ink still wet when the papers hit the streets. Every week in the 1810s they slipped a new Beard print onto the presses, capturing duels, bankruptcies, and elopements with the same sharp lines used to sketch the Royal Mile’s shady characters. Why they belong here: tap “Beard Print Collection (17th March 1815)” to see the day the Bank of Scotland crashed, illustrated like a front-page comic strip.
