Richardson, W. George, d. 1877.

W. George Richardson was born in the early to mid-nineteenth century, the son of William Richardson, M.D., who was a first cousin of John Ruskin (1819-1900). Little is known about George Richardson's life. He corresponded fairly frequently with Ruskin during the period 1864-1877. In the 1870s, he handled some of Ruskin's business affairs. In 1873, Richardson was working with "Hill, Richardson and Wright," presumably a London law firm. George Richardson married Margaret K. Manson, and had a son, Arthur George Stueart Richardson, who traveled in Africa in the 1890s.
