The Calmady Children (Emily, 1818–1906, and Laura Anne, 1820–1894)

Edward William Wyon was born into a family of prominent medallists, his father being Thomas Wyon Sr, who bore the official title Chief Engraver of the Seals. He became a prolific Victorian sculptor who was best known for his portrait busts, including preparing a goodly number of works for reproduction in Parian porcelain. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1829 and exhibited his work there from 1831, living at a variety of London addresses before settling in 1857 at Allsop Terrace, which may refer to a terrace of houses in Allsop Place behind Baker Street Station.
