H Beard Print Collection is a 1808 by Samuel De Wilde, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows an actor playing Tyke in Morton’s *School of Reform*. It’s by Samuel De Wilde, an English artist working in 1808. Turner in London published the image that same year. De Wilde liked to picture actors on stage. Tyke is a funny schoolboy part—always getting into scrapes. The print shows how theater stayed popular in prints. Look up the artist Samuel De Wilde next.
