George Harnage, 1st Baronet
Sir George Harnage, 1st Baronet (1767–1836) was an English businessman and a director of the Bank of England. He was born George Blackman and changed his name in 1821 on his elevation to the peerage and so that he could inherit his wife's ancestral home.
==Career==
For many years he was a director of the Bank of England and a West India merchant. Following his bankruptcy on 15November 1823, his sudden appearance in ''The London Gazette'' "was like a thunderbolt to the mercantile world, where his credit had so long stood unimpeached."
His place of business in Chatham Place, Blackfriars, London and his "elegant residence" in Harley Street, which contained one of the first libraries in London, were both sold.〔 There is a painting of Harnage by John Hoppner in the Bank of England Museum, London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/sir-george-blackman-17671836-50236 )〕
