H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Clarkson Frederick Stanfield, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is an engraved portrait print from the 19th century. It shows J. De Castro, as the Victoria and Albert Museum records. The print belongs to the Harry Beard Collection. Engraved portraits were a common way to share someone’s face before cameras. This one is likely done in metal, since that’s typical for the time. The artist chose to highlight the sitter’s features with careful lines. Check out more prints from the Harry Beard Collection.
