J. Pitt
J. Pitt is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
J. Pitt made 19th-century prints in the H Beard Print Collection, crisp black-and-white sheets meant for quick sale at London print shops around Fleet Street. Their crisp outlines and bold shading feel like yesterday’s memes—punchy, repeatable images that hawked everything from politicians to prize fighters. One sheet shows the 1832 Reform Act crowd outside Westminster, another the Duke of Wellington astride a horse. Tap the H Beard Print Collection to zoom in on the tiny crowd scenes and squint at the original captions.
