William Benbow

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

William Benbow made prints in the 1820s, a time when bold images spread news and jokes in cheap sheets. His H Beard Print Collection shows people, places, and everyday scenes carved on wood or metal and pressed onto paper. This was before photos, so prints were how most folks saw the world outside their town. Tap H Beard Print Collection to see the whole set of 1820 sheets.
