Carington Bowles

Carington Bowles is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Carington Bowles made playful prints in 18th-century England, the kind you’d hang in a coffee-house or tuck into a letter. The Harry Beard Print Collection shows comic street scenes and sharp little portraits in ink and watercolor, all sized to fit a pocket. Each sheet feels like a tiny stage where fops and farmers mug for the viewer. Want to step inside that world? Tap the H Beard Print Collection and watch the characters lean in from the page.
