The H Beard Print Collection is a print made by C. Motte. It's interesting because it shows a full-length portrait of Madame Pasta as Romeo, which is a unique subject. The artist's choice of subject is notable, as it depicts a woman playing a male role, which was not common at the time. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this print, and to learn more about similar prints, you can look up the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
