About the book >.>.> What was Britain like when James Ward was born in 1769? Prosperous inventive and go-ahead in the North with the Whigs settled in Parliament for a long reign. The Hanoverian succession had been secured by the defeat of the Jacobite Rebellion but George III and his ministers were to let slip the American colonies Nelson was a midshipman and Arthur Wellesley and Napoleon were both born in 1769. Handel was lost to music in 1759. The craftsmanship of English silversmiths furniture-makers porcelain manu- facture and architecture has never been surpassed; Lloyds the great auction houses and breweries were established publishing was flourishing and the wit and wisdom of Dr Samuel Johnson Richard Sheridan and David Garrick brought lustre to the dinners of the Kit-Cat Club and the plays and ballets of Covent Garden – but what of the art of painting?
