songwriter and painter. Being privately educated in his native Ireland,
Lover desired to work in the arts, and fled his father's stockbroking
business to take residence in London, England. He took up many practices,
but excelled in painting, mostly painting portraits and miniatures. In addition
to painting, he took up writing and compoing, most notably writing "Rosy
O'More" (1826), which was also developed into a novel and play. His other
works include a successful novel titled Handy Andy (1842). As he
grew older, his eyesight began to fail and he abandoned painting to focus on
writing and entertaining, reading his writings with much popularity in Great
Britian and the United States. Normal mailing folds. Left and bottom edge
slightly frayed. Adhesive residue on verso. Light surface creases. Slightly
toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
