J. William Gear
J. William Gear is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
J. William Gear made prints in the early 1800s, a time when images were carved on wood or metal to spread in books and newspapers. In the H Beard Print Collection (around 1838) you’ll find busy street scenes and everyday life in crisp black-and-white lines. These prints belong to the same era as Goya’s engravings and Thomas Rowlandson’s cartoons. Tap H Beard Print Collection to zoom into the intricate curls of a barber’s razor or the hats bobbing along a London sidewalk.
