Artist

J. Collyer

J. Collyer is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

English printmaker in the late 1700s, J. Collyer turned stage scenes into popular single-sheet prints. Look for his 1782 engraving “Love in a Village” on the tile wall—it lifts a moment straight off the London stage and onto paper, all in one crisp print. Tap into the print to see how the footlights and faces stay sharp even on cheap paper.
