George Wade Greetings Card

Regular price £4.00

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.
