- The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Hester was a Salesbury by birth, one of the most powerful and influential families in Wales, but her father was not terribly astute with money. Her marriage to the wealthy brewer, Henry Thrale allowed Hester to take her place in society, a place which a sharp wit and excellent education allowed her to take full advantage.
Hester Thrale’s face radiates intelligence and determination. The sitter kept a diary of the 1775 trip to France she took with her husband and Samuel Johnson, the famed British lexicographer.
