H Beard Print Collection is a 1777 by A. Hamilton, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a stage actress playing Euphrosyne in Milton’s *Comus*. It’s a hand-colored print from the 1700s, not just a black-and-white drawing. The color was added later by hand. The actress was Miss Catley, and this was part of her role in a popular play. Prints like this helped people remember performances they saw or heard about. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of the Beard Print Collection.
