Artist
W. Westmacott
W. Westmacott is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This London printmaker spent the 1840s turning street scenes into popular broadsides you could buy for a penny at the corner of Fleet Street. His prints show brawling cabmen and flower-girls in sharp lines that feel almost like gossip doodles. Look for “H Beard Print Collection” from about 1847—it’s the one that piles the whole city onto one sheet so you can trace the muddy Thames wharves and gas lamps together.
