H Beard Print Collection is a 1895 by Ellis & Walery, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print captures a moment on stage. Ellis & Walery made it after 1895. It shows Mr Lewis Waller in his role as Buckingham from *The Three Musketeers*. The theater’s note says this was at His Majesty’s Theatre. It’s a mix of Impressionism and Realism, common in prints from that time. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see it in person.
A hand-colored photographic portrait of Mr. Lewis Waller as the Duke of Buckingham in *The Three Musketeers*, staged at His Majesty's Theatre, was reproduced and printed in color for an illustrated magazine in 1895. The image appears as a cutting from the magazine, accompanied by a biographical note about the actor.

Ellis & Walery were the go-to photographers for London’s theatre crowd in the late 1800s, printing poses of actors mid-scowl or mid-song on cabinet cards you could buy at the stage door.
