H Beard Print Collection is a 1832 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows 8 figures, possibly played by Charles Mathews. It's interesting because it gives us a glimpse into theater life in the 1800s. The figures seem to be characters from a comic annual, which was a type of entertainment publication. You can learn more about this type of print and its context by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
The print titled *Characters in Mathews Comic Annual, 1832* features eight figures, some or all of whom may represent roles performed by Charles Mathews.
