Artist
Hyams
Hyams is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This London printmaker had a knack for turning everyday city scenes into tiny stories, think street vendors hawking pies or chimney sweeps dodging carriages, all squeezed onto a hand-sized sheet. In 1833, he published a whole collection of these, titled after the day he finished them: Sixteen February 1833. Flip through it today and you’ll notice how much noise and life fit into such a small space.
Gallery Tiles keeps his H Beard Print Collection around so you can zoom in on the grime on a boot or the steam rising off a pie, details that make history feel handed to you.
