signature lower left. He stands in his study, a map of
the Great Lakes of North America on the wall behind,
and his dog sleeping on top of his books to the right.
Galt was a prolific Scottish novelist admired for his
depiction of country life. From 1824 he worked for the
Canada Company, a charter company established to aid
in the colonisation of Upper Canada. He opened up a
road between Lakes Huron and Erie through the forest
country and founded the city of Guelph in Upper
Canada (now Ontario) in 1827. Galt was dismissed in
1829 for his lack of accounting skills and failure to
carry out the company's policies. He returned to Britain
in 1829, after which he devoted himself entirely to
literature. His masterpieces, novels of Scottish rural
life, are The Ayrshire Legatees (1820), The Annals of
the Parish (1821), Sir Andrew Wylie (1822), The
Provost (1822) and The Entail (1823). His ‘Life of
Lord Byron’ appeared in 1830. He had been a fellowtraveller
with Byron from Gibraltar to Malta, and they
also met at Athens.
