Also known as: George Baker; primary name: Baker, George
Details: individual; British; Male
Life dates: 1747-1811
Address: 2 St Paul's Churchyard, London
Biography: Son of the Rev. Thomas Baker, Vicar of Hungerford; lace merchant, print collector and bibliophile, especially known for his collection of Hogarths. His sale at Sotheby's on 16-27.vi.1825 (P&D library, SC.A.2.44) was often referred to by contemporaries as the standard against which prices for Hogarth prints were judged. Gillray portrayed him at an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Morland (BMSat 10791), he also appears in "Sketches taken at Print Sales" by Sylvester Harding after Paul Sandby (1876,1209.612), and as Quisquilius in T. F. Dibdin's Bibliomania (1809/11).
