H Beard Print Collection is an 8 by James Burn, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The print is titled 'H Beard Print Collection' by James Burn, created on 8th March 1814. It's a print that depicts Edmund Kean as 'Richard III'. The biography of Kean is printed underneath the image, which provides additional context about the subject. This suggests that the print was not only meant to showcase Kean's portrayal of Richard III but also to inform viewers about the actor himself. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
The print titled *Mr Kean as Richard* shows actor Edmund Kean in the role of Richard III, with a biography of Kean occupying the lower half of the page; it was published in 1814.
