H Beard Print Collection is a 21 by Carlo "Ape" Pellegrini, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a portrait of poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. It comes from a famous series called “Men of the Day” in Vanity Fair. Back then, Vanity Fair regularly published small, sharp portraits of well-known figures. This one was drawn by Carlo Pellegrini, who often signed as Ape.
