H Beard Print Collection is a work by Messrs. Cadell & Davies, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Robert Smirke, a British artist and architect from the past. It was made by Messrs. Cadell & Davies, but we don’t know when. The print includes a page of notes about Smirke’s life and work. That extra page makes it more than just a picture. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum next time you’re in London.
The engraving depicts Robert Smirke, Esq., R.A., accompanied by a separate page containing biographical details. The two pages, one with the engraved portrait and the other with text, may have been removed from a book of sketches.
