Artist

Thomson

Thomson is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Printmaker from the 1820s who carved the H Beard Print Collection in 1824—a single volume of 100 hand-colored etchings showing everyday scenes around London. The prints mix shop signs, street cries, and local landmarks with a crisp, documentary style. Look for the “London Coffee House” plate to spot tradesmen in tricorn hats and steaming pots. After tapping this tile, try the same year’s “Cries of London” series by another hand to compare two takes on the same noise-filled streets.
