Hopwood & Crew were the 19th-century printmakers who turned London fog into comic gold. They sold cheap, punchy etchings on every street corner — think of their “Beard” prints as the memes of Victorian England. If you’ve ever seen one of their crowded cartoons tacked up in a pub, you already know their style: busy, sly, and packed with tiny jokes. Look up the H Beard Print Collection and you’ll spot the same joke you’d share today.
