This print is an old allegory, made around the 1700s. It sits in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Beard Print Collection. The sheet includes extra paper work: a letter from a professor and a handwritten list of books about the artist’s family. That extra paper tells us the print had a life as a studied object, not just decoration. Look up the next piece by the same hand: artist Cochin, C.N.
