H Beard Print Collection is a 1738 by Isaac Oliver, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a portrait of Ben Johnson. It's an old print, made in 1738, but the artist listed, Isaac Oliver, was born in 1775, which doesn't add up. The artist may have been confused with another Isaac Oliver, from an earlier time, or the date is incorrect. To learn more about this kind of artwork, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
A portrait of Ben Jonson is depicted in a print produced in London by J. & P. Knapton, attributed to the collection compiled by H. Beard in 1738.
