Joseph Collyer

Joseph Collyer is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Joseph Collyer made book illustrations and prints in late-18th-century London. His prints were sold by booksellers like H. Beard, who published *Love in a Village* on 1 September 1782. The pictures mimic stage scenes from the era’s popular comic operas, letting readers hang prints of actors in costume on their walls. Flip to the *H. Beard Print Collection* to see how these small engravings carried theater into everyday parlors.
