This team turned current events into eye-catching prints for the weekly news. Their wood-engraved sheets—like the 27 March 1858 and 22 December 1860 issues from the H Beard Print Collection—packed politics, fashion and crime into single bold images. Think of it as the Instagram feed of the 1850s, but carved on wood and inked on paper. Tap any print to zoom in on the headlines and tiny details hidden in the crowd.
