The H Beard Print Collection is a print made by George Virtue. It's interesting because the print is a portrait of Miss Emma Sarah Love in a character role, showing Virtue's work in theatrical portraits. This was a common practice at the time, where artists would create portraits of actors in their roles. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
