H Beard Print Collection is a 1 by Robert Sayer & Co., a Romanticism work, depicting sheet music, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print pokes fun at a music concert from 1792. The title calls it “The Rising Generation of Orpheus,” but it’s clearly a joke. It was made in London and sold by Robert Sayer & Co. Caricatures like this one show how prints could be funny and critical. Satire was a big deal in art back then. See more prints like it at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
