H Beard Print Collection is a 30 by W.C. Lindsay, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a head-and-shoulders portrait of Charles Bannister, a well-known comic actor from Drury Lane Theatre in London. W.C. Lindsay made the print in 1801, so it captures the look of the day for actors and their fans. Prints like this let everyday people keep a likeness of their favorites at home. Bannister’s face would have been familiar to theatergoers back then. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
