H Beard Print Collection is a 1850 by Stannard, depicting Sheet Music, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is a colorful cover for a 19th-century Irish song called *Enniscorthy*. It’s a sheet music cover, so it was made to grab attention in shops and streets. The artist used bright colors to stand out—typical for catchy sheet music. Robert Martin wrote the tune, but the print’s design is by Stannard. Check out another sheet music cover by Stannard.
