H Beard Print Collection is a 1750 by Thomas Rowlandson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a caricature of an actor with Sheridan. The actor is shown in a theatrical setting, and the text at the bottom adds to the scene. It's interesting that the print is a colour scene, which was not very common at that time. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Rowlandson, Thomas.
A theatrical candidate, a colour print by Thomas Rowlandson, depicts a caricatured actor alongside Richard Brinsley Sheridan, accompanied by text printed below the image.
