H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by William Spalding, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Fred Albert, a London music hall singer known for witty songs. He swapped a city office job for the stage in the 1860s. Spalding turned his portrait into a print. Albert’s break came at Hoxton Hall. He poked fun at Martin Tupper’s serious book of proverbs with a satirical song. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
