Portrait of George Garbutt, Bookseller, Sunderland (1792-?) J Wood 19th Century

On verso: Geo. Garbutt, Bookseller, Sunderland./ Painted by Jas. Wood about 1827 watercolour 4.1/2 x 4 in. George Garbutt was baptised at Stokesley, North Yorkshire on 18th January 1792, the son of George Garbutt by his wife Elizabeth Hindson. He appears in the directory for County Durham 1827-8 living on the High Street at Bishop Wearmouth. By 1851 he is living at 190 High Street, Bishop Wearmouth trading as a book seller. Meet George Garbutt eminent local historian of Sunderland who wrote and published his "History of Sunderland" in 1819 This likeness of George Garbutt of Stokesly and Sunderland was taken from a faded sketch at the front of a personal copy of his work.We are particularly thankful that he wrote his history when he did almost contemporaneuosly with the characters and events we mainly seek to cover. His account of Sunderland's history is well known to local historians and provides much information interesting to anyone but particularly those living in or connected to this city. He gives a wonderful masonic eulogy of a gentleman named Michael Scarth a truly remarkable man who was third partner with Rowland Burdon and Thomas Wilson in the building of the Sunderland Iron Bridge in 1796, and assisted Rowland Burdon in constructing the original A19 roadway. You can become better acquainted with him when reading the colourful history of this ancient chapter or if you wish you can 'click' on his name just above for the section devoted to his personal attainments. Garbutt also provides us with an excellent account of the lead up to the actual building of Sunderland's unique Iron Bridge by Rowland Burdon and the details of the planning and design work which can be found by visiting the comprehensive section on the Sunderland Iron Bridge. It is interesting to note that the book, in our possession at the moment, is his personal copy, signed by Garbutt and gifted, at his request, to Stokesley library by his family after his death (fig.2). Further research shows that George Garbutt was a member of Sea Captains' Lodge (now Palatine Lodge No.97) and that James Field Stanfield, also a member of the lodge, is said to have written the portions dealing with masonry and the theatre.
