This print shows Julián Gayarre, a face pressed between paper and ink. Made in the 1800s, it’s a simple portrait you’d hang on a wall or tuck inside a book. The company that printed it, E. Matthews & Sons, was known for turning paintings into prints that everyday people could own. Next time you’re in London, drop by the Victoria and Albert Museum.
