Named after his famous father, John Glover junior also painted Tasmanian subjects. John junior also farmed the family land while his father painted.

Painter and farmer, known as John Glover junior, was the eldest son of John Glover. He executed a number of paintings and drawings of Tasmanian subjects and his work is sometimes confused with that by his father. His brothers James, Henry and William also painted. John and William Glover taught art in Birmingham in conjunction with Henry Curzon Allport in 1808 and William contributed paintings to his father’s 1824 exhibition in London. A pair of sketches drawn by John Glover senior and junior of Porto Praya and the island of Madeira in 1831 en route to Australia, both extensively inscribed to 'Emma’ verso with a description of the voyage, are in the Grimwade Collection, University of Melbourne (acquired 1996). John Richardson Glover died at Kinnimonth, Upper Nile (now Deddington), Tasmania, on 22 June 1868.

some people argue that the UK was formed in 1707 by the Act of Union between England, Wales and Scotland, the name United Kingdom wasn’t adopted until 1801 when Ireland was brought into the union
