Context
James Wyon is, as the name might suggest, a member of the Wyon family of England from which literally scores of famed artisans and engravers emerged. Our James Wyon, one of many so-named in the Wyon family, worked as private assistant to his first cousin, William Wyon, from 1825 to 1851, at which time he was appointed on probation to the post of Resident-Engraver to the Royal Mint in London, an appointment made permanent in 1854.
