Whole villages that had previously been self-sufficient were driven into poverty as a result. The impoverishment of Witheridge by the Enclosure Acts rendered most of Mr. Willcocks’s usual customers unable to afford new footwear. After this, everyone in the village fell on hard times, except for the squire, who benefited from the land enclosure.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ian Graham" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/ian-graham/the-family-had-been-reasonably-prosperous-until-the-enclosures-these/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20c/ian-graham-67707_family_the-family-had-been-reasonably-prosperou_1405450.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20c/ian-graham-67707_family_the-family-had-been-reasonably-prosperou_1405450.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/20c/ian-graham-67707_family_the-family-had-been-reasonably-prosperou_1405450.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The family had been reasonably prosperous until “the Enclosures.” These were a series of acts of Parliament…” — Ian Graham", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "If you ask me, what is helpful to creativity is training the eye to notice things, to observe closely and precisely, being careful not to make a muddle of it.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ian Graham" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/ian-graham/if-you-ask-me-what-is-helpful-to-creativity-is-training-the-eye-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/28d/ian-graham-67707_ask-me_if-you-ask-me-what-is-helpful-to-creativ_2002518.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/28d/ian-graham-67707_ask-me_if-you-ask-me-what-is-helpful-to-creativ_2002518.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/28d/ian-graham-67707_ask-me_if-you-ask-me-what-is-helpful-to-creativ_2002518.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If you ask me, what is helpful to creativity is training the eye to notice things, to observe closely and…” — Ian Graham", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/ian-graham/#person", "name": "Ian Graham", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/ian-graham/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b108/author-ian-graham-67707.jpg", "description": "Ian James Alastair Graham OBE was a British Mayanist whose explorations of Maya ruins in the jungles of Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize helped establish the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions published by the Peabody Museum of Harvard University.
