H Beard Print Collection is a 1 by J. & J. Boydell, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
J. & J. Boydell made this print in 1791. It shows a scene from a play about Mexico’s conquest. The work is a print, not a painting. The print lists who watched and who acted. A Duke and others saw this at a private house. The list tells us it was a special event. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
The print depicts a performance of *The Conquest of Mexico* staged at Mr. Conduit’s residence, the Master of the Mint, with an audience that included the Duke of Cumberland. It includes a list of the actors and spectators present during the event.

John and Josiah Boydell ran one of London’s biggest print shops in the late 1700s.
