Description: | AtU CRE WATSON, Thomas; (English; 1743-1781) AFTER REYNOLDS, Joshua, Sir; (English; 1723-1792) John Paterson was grandson of the last Archbishop of Glasgow; he may have been known to William Hunter through his position as clerk to the Barber-Surgeons in London; he was a city solicitor who carried out improvements in London, one of which is alluded to in the image: he clutches a sheet of paper on which is inscribed his plan to raise money for completing Blackfriars Bridge. The architect of Blackfriars Bridge was the Scot Robert Mylne, who also built 16 Gt Windmill Street for Hunter in 1765-7. Paterson died in 1789, aged 85. Possibly he is the same John Paterson in whose office George Garrick, brother of the actor David Garrick, received a legal training. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PORTRAIT : SOLICITOR : BARBER-SURGEONS : BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE : HUNTER 2007 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
