British artists in the 1840s often turned to prints to spread images of everyday scenes and celebrities. John Mitchell made prints like H Beard Print Collection around 1845, small black-and-white pictures of popular figures that people could buy and pin on walls. These prints were quick to produce and easy to share, turning stars of the day into household names.
