About this work

This is a small print from 1809. It shows Samuel Whitbread, a British brewer. His face is etched in lines—sharp cheekbones, a serious mouth. The print was made to mark Whitbread’s life. It was published in London by James Gundee. The artist stays unknown, but the image feels direct and honest. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
