Mr Liston as Maw-Worm in The Hypocrite
H Beard Print Collection
H Beard Print Collection

Page is a Romanticism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Page was the guy who turned actors into instant memes. In 1824 he carved Mr Liston as Maw-Worm—a grinning, wide-eyed villain in a wig so stiff it looks like it’s plotting something—and suddenly every gossip sheet in London wanted a copy. He printed them fast, cheap, and with real bite; no fancy frames, just the joke delivered straight to the pub wall. Look up “The Hypocrite print” in the H Beard collection—the sharpest laugh you’ll find from Regency theatre.
