Talk:George Hunter (mayor)

Contradiction
Hunter died in 1843, and the picture is dated c. 1840; Mary Swainson described "a bald head, circular spectacles and beaming eyes, and as exactly resembling Mr Pickwick of Charles Dickens The Pickwick Papers," but the image clearly depicts him with a reasonable amount of hair. Was he only very suddenly "bald" for the last three years of his life? The image and the description don't fit; possibly the image date is incorrect? Presumably Mary Swainson was referring to the correct man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.197.144 (talk) 14:49, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Also the article doesn't make clear when Swainson met Hunter/ made her remark; if it was 1820, then something's even more out of whack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.197.144 (talk) 15:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
