H Beard Print Collection is a 1750 by James Northcote, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a dramatic scene from Shakespeare’s *Henry VI*. A man in armor lies on the ground. Two others stand over him, one pointing a sword. The print comes from a play where a character named Mortimer dies. The artist printed it long after Shakespeare wrote the scene. The lines are sharp and dark. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
