H Beard Print Collection is a 1830 by James Robinson Planché, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print collection shows twelve costume designs for Shakespeare’s *Richard the Third*. James Robinson Planché created the descriptions and Charles Frederick Tomkins handled the designs. The prints were made in 1830 by Colnaghi and Son. Romanticism shaped how artists like Planché thought about history and drama in this period. The book was part of the Harry Beard Collection later.
