Johan Joseph Zoffany

Dry, finely etched prints of 18th‑century London life fill Zoffany’s work. Look for the crisp outlines and cross‑hatched shadows in prints dated 1766, 1772, and 1776—these scenes capture tailors’ shops, book stalls in Grub Street, and coffeehouse debates, all pressed on small folio sheets. Each sheet is stamped “H Beard Print Collection,” so you’ll know it’s the same hand behind every impression. Tap into the 1772 sheet to see the artist’s careful dots that shade wigs and waistcoats.
