H Beard Print Collection is a 26 by James Sayers, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print by James Sayers mixes politics and humor in 1805 London. Samuel Whitbread, dressed as barrels, storms at Viscount Melville, shown as a thistle. William Wilberforce floats above, urging calm. This was a protest print, poking fun at powerful men. It shows how prints could mock leaders at the time. Look up the museum that keeps this print, Victoria and Albert Museum.
