Richard Ford (writer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Ford (1796-1858) was an English writer. He graduated at Trinity College, Oxford, in 1817, and was afterward called to the bar, but never practiced. He spent four years traveling in Spain and in 1845 published his delightful Handbook for Travelers in Spain, in two volumes. A second edition (1847) was in one volume, and the material left out was published in Gatherings from Spain (1846). Ford also contributed important papers on Spanish art to the Quarterly Review and other periodicals. He wrote letterpress for several art works, notably the Tauromachia (1852) of Lake Price. He was the father of Sir Francis Clare Ford.
