Seated portrait of William Richard Hamilton (1777-1859), diplomat and antiquarian.

The following year he collected the Parthenon marbles for removal to England, and organised the recovery of all the pieces that sank at Cerigo. After a voyage up the Nile, he wrote a well-known work of Egyptology, 'Ægyptiaca', which contained an important transcript of the 'Greek copy of the decree on the Rosetta stone', with a translation in English. In 1830 he succeeded Sir Thomas Lawrence as Secretary of the Society of Dilettanti; in 1833 he was one of the founders of the Royal Geographical Society; and he was a trustee of the British Museum from 1838-58.
