H Beard Print Collection is a 1 by George Henry Harlow, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
George Henry Harlow made this print in 1819. It shows Charles Mathews playing five different stage roles at once. This kind of multi-character sheet was popular with theater crowds in the 1800s. Harlow and Mathews worked together often during the Romantic period. The print captures quick costume changes and dramatic poses. It’s one of the few surviving images of Mathews in so many guises. Check out more works by Harlow at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
