George Wade Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
George Wade NPG 1594
© National Portrait Gallery, London
attributed to Johan van Diest
The attribution to Van Diest is based on comparison with a similar portrait at Bath commissioned by the City and hung in the Guildhall in 1731. Wade was MP for Bath, 1722-48. NPG 1594, formerly a three-quarter length in very bad condition, was reduced to the present oval at or before the time of acquisition in 1911. More detailed information on this portrait is available in a National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue, John Kerslake's Early Georgian Portraits (1977, out of print).
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
