Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Morland, Painter, London (1763-1804) If the celebrity of a man at his death may be gauged by the number of biographies of him which then make their appearance, George Morland must have died famous. No fewer than four 'Lives' of the artist appeared shortly after his death, written respectively by William Collins (1805), F. W. Blagdon (1806), J. Hassell (1806), and George Dawe, R.A.(1807). All four may be consulted in the British Museum, but will with difficulty be met with elsewhere. In these circumstances, a new biography seems at least permissible, more particularly as George Morland still remains a famous man and numbers a greater multitude of admirers than ever. His pictures somehow appeal to the English people as no others do - perhaps because he was so thorough an Englishman himself, and because he painted English subjects in a way no man ever did before or has done since.
