H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by M. & N. Hanhart, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is a 19th-century page from Handel’s opera *Acis and Galatea*. It features a singer named Mr. Allen on the cover. The print was made by M. & N. Hanhart and is part of the Harry Beard Collection. It’s a simple sheet for a Handel show, nothing fancy. A publisher called Jefferys & Nelson put it out long ago. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next.

The Hanharts ran a print shop in London where people dropped by for tattoos and tea.
