Joseph Collyer

Joseph Collyer is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Joseph Collyer made book illustrations and prints in late-18th-century London. His prints were sold by booksellers like H. Beard, who published Love in a Village on 1 September 1782. The pictures mimic stage scenes from the era’s popular comic operas, letting readers hang prints of actors in costume on their walls.

Flip to the H. Beard Print Collection to see how these small engravings carried theater into everyday parlors.
