Dale

Dale made prints of the world around them in the early 1800s, when broadsheets and newspapers were the social media of the day. Their only confirmed work here is the *H Beard Print Collection (25th March 1821)*, a single-sheet print that likely captured a public event, a street scene, or a portrait meant for quick circulation. These ephemeral prints were the 19th-century equivalent of a viral post—cheap, fast, and disposable. Tap into the sheet’s date to see how it might have been pasted up in shop windows or carried from hand to hand like a tweet from the past.
