George Morland, artist: consequences of a stolen childhood
Marian Kamlish has compiled a new biography (to be published in July) of the artist George Morland (1763-1804), famous and wealthy in his day but ending in penury, who lived in what is now Camden Town for the most successful period of his life. For this talk at the Foundling Museum Marian will concentrate on his unhappy childhood, in which his precocious talent in drawing was brutally exploited by his spendthrift father, and what she believes were the factors in that childhood that drove him to ruin.
