Artist

P. Begbie

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

Scottish artist P. Begbie made prints in the mid-1700s, a time when prints spread news, maps and portraits across Britain. His 1776 Print Collection shows city views, trade scenes and local types pressed onto paper, each sheet small enough to slip into a coat pocket. These images let people carry far-off places—Edinburgh closes, Glasgow docks, Highland roads—into coffeehouses and parlors. Want to see how a single sheet could hold a whole street?
