JOHN RUSSELL (GUILDFORD 1745-1806 HULL)

Samuel Buck of Ulley and Carnaby, was Recorder of Leeds. In 1772 he married Anne Ellison, daughter of Richard Ellison of Thorn, Yorkshire. John Russell was frequently in Leeds; the costume and technique here suggest that these drawings might date to circa 1800.
