W. George Richardson Papers, 1864-1890s

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/r/Richardson,W.George.html

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. The collection includes about 60 letters written by John Ruskin to George Richardson, 1864-1877, concerning a variety of personal and business matters, including financial difficulties of Richardson and purchases of property by Ruskin. The collection also includes several other items relating to Ruskin, and material of A. G. S. Richardson. The latter consists of letters, writings, and pictures relating to A. G. S. Richardson's travels in Africa in the 1890s. Included are drafts of by A. G. S. Richardson. Also included is a copy of a catalogue of paintings at Ruskin's home and a carte-de-visite of John Ruskin, ca. 1860s. Bulawayo to Barotseland: The Narrative of a Trading Trip in the Zambezi Valley
