Sketched wildlife, people, landscapes
George Walker was born in 1781 near Leeds, the youngest of five brothers; his father William was a drysalter and a member of the Mill Hill Chapel. George was educated in Mansfield and then at the Revd. Charles Wellbeloved's school in York. Instead of following his father's trade, he studied natural history and fine art, often making sketches of wildlife, people and landscapes. He died in 1856.
