This guy Evans? Always lurked in print shops, sleeves dusted with chalk from pressing woodblocks. In 1807 he carved a whole collection of portraits—kings, queens, and every tradesman who mattered—so even the illiterate could “read” their rulers. His prints didn’t just hang on walls; they traveled in soldiers’ knapsacks and tavern backrooms, making fame something you could fold into your pocket. Hunt down the H Beard Print Collection and you’ll see history tucked into a deck of cards.
