Thackeray - Publisher: London: David Bogue, [1850] - Scarce book by Thackeray Joseph Mallord William Turner (April 23, 1775 (exact date disputed) December 19, 1851) was an English Romantic landscape artist, whose style can be said to have laid the foundation for Impressionism.Turner was born in Covent Garden, London. His father, William, was a pig farmer who later became a barber. His mother, Mary Marshall, became increasingly mentally unstable, perhaps in part due to the early death of Turner's younger sister in 1783. She died in 1804, having been committed in 1799 to a mental asylum. Seller Inventory # 12257
