Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is an exhaustive and authoritative study of the family of artists named Wyon, who made their mark in 18th and 19th century Europe as coin and medal designers and engravers, beginning with George Wyon, who is thought to have been born in Cologne, Germany in 1705. Over a century later, in 1836, the family produced one of its most celebrated members: Leonard Charles Wyon, who became Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint in London. The book includes an extensive genealogy of the Wyon family tree, providing details of the artists and their connection to the field of coin and medal production for over 200 years. The book also explores the techniques employed by the Wyons in great detail, providing a comprehensive insight into the development of die-engraving as an art form, and the methods used to produce the nation's currency. The author uses original research to present a rich and engaging narrative that places the Wyon family within the wider context of the art world of the time, and highlights their important contribution to the field of numismatics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
