This guy printed so many satirical broadsides you’d think he ran a 19th-century meme factory out of his attic. Rumor has it he slipped political punchlines past censors by hiding them in the curls of a wig or the fold of a coat. Hunt down the H Beard Print Collection from March 31, 1828—one sheet crammed with six tiny, razor-sharp cartoons you can still read like tweets.
