A. Bedetti

A. Bedetti is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Italian printmaker in the mid-1800s known for detailed engravings of beards, mustaches, and sideburns. His 1855 "H Beard Print Collection" catalogs every whisker style from muttonchops to pencil lines with scientific precision. The prints sit in a numbered series, each labeled and dated like a naturalist’s specimen sheets. Look for his tiny signature on the plate edge—just the initials A.B. in the corner. Flip to the next screen to zoom into the curl of a handlebar mustache in Plate 12.
