IMPECCABLE et agréablement partagée.
Bonne et agréable fin de semaine.

I was aware of the history but only now have I thought that Mr Walpole must have been a) incredibly wealthy from other resources or b) a far far more successful author than he is given credit for today! Maybe both or neither? Perhaps someone can enlighten me (or I just go staright to Wiki!)
A fine capture anyway!

Well I went deep into the Wiki pages and all very interesting but I will need to delve further and into Mr Walpole himdself to get answers! I knew the name Walpole both for this writer and for the first Prime Minister and often wondered if they were related. I suspect they were but haven't found any evidence.
Still digging!

Yes, very wealthy possibly from land owning and politics, and his Dad was prime minister Robert Walpole.

Nice capture.

Cheers Frode!
