H Beard Print Collection is a 10 by Evan Sly, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print by Evan Sly plays with hidden images. It shows Garrick and Hogarth, or The Artist Puzzled, and it’s set inside a floor frame. You’ll spot faces, soldiers, and more through the frame. The artist made 30 different views that shift as you move. It’s one of Sly’s mechanical prints, full of small surprises. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A coloured print titled *Garrick and Hogarth, or The Artist Puzzled* is the fifth in a series of mechanical prints by R. Evan Sly, featuring 30 interchangeable views visible through the floor-mounted frame. The composition includes depictions of a dog, a woman with a baby, a child holding a stick, profile faces, a balding man, armed soldiers, bonneted women, men in wigs or with white hair, and a flute player. Published in London by Evan Sly and T. Houlston, the work combines portraiture with varied vignettes in a single shifting design.
