I am extremely pleased for the Grosvenor Museum that we now have such a wealth of information about William Gillard to complement our collection of his paintings, with excellent colour reproduction.

THIS is an extraordinarily detailed, well researched and well illustrated story of two very different families in the 19th Century and the work of a largely unknown artist.
The Wade family in Braintree and Chelmsford inhabited a totally different strata of society from the Harfords of Bristol and it is fascinating to delve into their respective day to day lives. The first part of the book is of particular interest to Braintree readers in that the Wade family ran the Bank Street Public House known then as The Cock. …Other local traders, such as the Hawkes, Parmenter and Joscelyne families are noted and much else that went on in and around the town. The whole book not only records the interaction of the various Wade and Harford family members but does so in the context of the local, national and international events of the times.
The works of William Gillard, the artist of the title, are covered in detail with numerous colour reproductions of his paintings….This remarkable project is perhaps best treated by reading the sections separately and then dipping in from time to time. It is a work of considerable importance and a great achievement.

THE book is magnificent – a work of incredible research and scholarship, with wonderful illustrations, many of which I recognise from Harford family paintings. Carolyn Harford, widow of Sir Timothy Harford
