Artist

Henry Heath

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

Henry Heath sold tiny, hand-colored prints from a wooden tray in London streets, shouting oddities like "Come see the curious!" His pictures showed one-eyed cats, three-legged dogs, and men with faces on their stomachs, everyday life twisted just enough to make you laugh. Grab a magnifying glass and hunt for Heath’s Oddities, the print where a man’s belly sprouts a grinning face; it’s the size of a tea saucer but packed with mischief.
