M. & N. Hanhart

M. & N. Hanhart is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

The Hanharts ran a print shop in London where people dropped by for tattoos and tea. Their real trick was the Beard Print Collection, hundreds of tiny etched portraits of beards, from handlebar to stubble, each one a little personality study on paper. Tap any one and you’ll see how they turned facial hair into a social map of the 1800s.
