H Beard Print Collection is a 1847 by J.W. Hodges, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print comes from a set called the H Beard Print Collection. It’s a hand-painted etching of a famous London stage actor in costume, made in 1847. These prints were sold with extra tinsel and feathers so owners could decorate them at home. They were a grown-up craft, not a kid’s pastime. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more tinsel prints.
