Whichet, C.J.M.

Whichet, C.J.M. is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Printmaker in early 19th-century London, C.J.M. Whichet turned news and gossip into hand-colored engravings sold on the street. One of those sheets survives today as H Beard Print Collection from October 1813, showing a crowd gathered outside the Exchange in a single dense image. Tap that print to zoom in on the faces and fashion—every bonnet and boot tells the moment.
