G. A. TURNER. 



GA. TURNER was the son of F. C. Turner. 

 • A brief note in the Sporting Magazine for 

 March, 1838, in connection with a clever picture of 

 a deerhound named BeHman, speaks of it as "the 

 first appearance in our Magazine of a talented 

 young artist, the son of F. C. Turner, who bids fair 

 to turn out a genuine chip of the old block." G. A. 

 Turner's works, so far as they can be traced, were 

 very few ; he exhibited three pictures in the Royal 

 Academy in the years 1836, 1838 and 1841 re- 

 spectively ; and in the volumes of the Sportnig 

 Magazine for 1837 and 1839 we find four plates, 

 including that from the portrait of " Bellman," 

 engraved from his paintings. 



No record can be found of the dates of his birth 

 and death.
