This guy clipped whiskers off his own chin beard and pressed them onto paper like secret stamps. He turned a daily habit—shaving—into tiny, spiky portraits of beards in every style and mood, like a Victorian whooping cough made visible. If you’ve ever seen a print from his 1822 collection, you’ll know the hairs feel alive under your thumb; tap “H Beard Print Collection, 01/09/1822” and you’ll meet a whole zoo of bristles you never knew you needed.
