H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Lefèvre, L. H., held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows an actress posing as a man. It’s a full-length lithotint from the late 1800s. The background hints at a drawing room. She wears a costume: white pantaloons, a double-breasted jacket, a tassled cap, and a pale sash. One hand holds a handkerchief. The other grips a slim swagger stick. This was part of a specific play called The Married Rake. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
