Artist

Joseph Slater

Joseph Slater is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Joseph Slater spent his life cutting tiny woodblocks in a London attic, squinting like he was threading a needle. He cranked out prints of everyday scenes, street criers, shop signs, the muddy Thames, so fast the ink never quite dried. If you’ve ever held a museum ticket stub from the 1820s, you’ve probably touched one of his lines.

Slide into the Gallery Tiles app and look up his H Beard Print Collection; every sheet feels like a snapshot of Regency London you can slip into your pocket.
