Apologies for the late appearance of part 4 of this post. I had intended to post from abroad, but was unable to do so in the end. Normal service resumed:
George Richmond (1809 - 1896) was an English painter. In his youth he was a member of "The Ancients," a group of followers of William Blake. Later in life he established a career as a portrait painter. He was the son of Thomas Richmond, a miniature-painter, and was the father of painter William Blake Richmond.
