H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Edward Jones, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print records a deal from 1807. Edward Jones made a contract for Angelica Catalani to sing three nights in Dublin. She’d earn £1200—about a fortune back then. Two small portraits are tucked in here. One shows Catalani herself. The other may be Michael Kelly, the man who helped set up the shows. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A contract was drawn up in 1807 by Edward Jones with Mr. De Valabrique, husband of Angelica Catalani, for her to perform in Dublin for three nights in early August, with payment set at £1200. The print collection includes two small portraits on card, one depicting Angelica Catalani and the other possibly Michael Kelly.
