George Bullock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Bullock (died 1818) was a sculptor from Liverpool.
He discovered a quarry in Anglesey which produced purple and green-blue marbles. As a result he engaged in work under the company name of Mona Marbles. Following the success of this company he moved to London in 1813, becoming director of the company. These marbles were used in the monuments to the Rev Glover Moore in St Cuthbert's, Halsall, Lancs, England, and to Anna Maria Bold in St Luke's, Farnworth, Lancs, England. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and the Liverpool Academy between 1804 and 1816. He was the President of the Liverpool Academy in 1810 and 1811.
