H Beard Print Collection is a 26 by George Moutard Woodward, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a scene commenting on the high pay of a child actor. The print is interesting because it highlights the hype surrounding Master Betty, a child actor who was paid a lot for his performances. This was a big deal back then, with some people thinking he was overpaid. You can learn more about this type of commentary by looking at the work of artist: Woodward, George Moutard.
