H Beard Print Collection is a 1808 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothes. She's playing a role, and her expression is serious. The details in the print are small, but you can see the folds in her dress and the books on the table behind her. The woman in the print is Mrs. Glover, an actress. She's dressed as Mrs. Oakly, a character from a play. The print was made from a drawing by an artist named Wageman. The print is now at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
A square-framed half-length portrait depicts Mrs. Glover in character as Mrs. Oakly, engraved by H. R. Cooke after a drawing by Wageman and published in 1818 by Simpkin & Marshall. The print was part of Oxberry's New English Drama series and is held in the Harry Beard Collection.
