G. Raffe

G. Raffe is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This guy G. Raffe probably spent his days inking plates with a magnifying glass, the way a watchmaker tinkers with gears. The prints he made feel like a 19th-century Instagram feed—tiny, punchy scenes of cats, circuses, and street life that you can still almost smell the horse manure in. You’ll find his world captured best in the H Beard Print Collection, a box of 1000+ little engravings you can flip through like a comic book from the past.
