This is a portrait print by John William Gear, made around 1925. It shows a man named Mr. Liston playing a character called Paul Pry. This kind of print was done with ink on stone, then pressed onto paper. The print was first published in 1825 by Gear himself. It was later added to the Harry Beard Collection. Harvard notes the printer was C. Hullmandel. Look up the artist Gear, John William next.
