FEATURED WEB PAGE

  This week's featured web page is about Leonard Charles Wyon.
  "Leonard Charles Wyon, eldest son of William Wyon, was born
  in one of the houses in the Royal Mint in 1826. "

  "His father taught him art and Leonard inherited great skill in die
  engraving. By the age of 16 he had already made several medals
  and some of his early work can be seen in the British Museum
  collection. In 1844 he became Second Engraver at the Mint on
  the retirement of Merlen.  He was still only 18 and at the age of
  24 he succeeded his father with the title of Modeller and
  Engraver in 1851.  At this time de Saulles was Engraver to the
  Mint. A title 'Engraver to the Royal Mint' seems to have
  continued until the reign of Edward VII (1901-10)."
