Kern, M.

Kern, M. is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

M. Kern left behind a small slice of 19th-century life in the form of black-and-white prints. One of their prints shows everyday city scenes and faces that feel almost like snapshots—shop signs, cobblestone alleys, a vendor carrying baskets. Though Kern’s era has no fancy label, these pictures sit between early photography’s rise and the hand-carved charm of wood-engraving prints. Step from Kern’s streets into the H Beard Print Collection to see more of these time-caught moments.
