William Wynne Ryland

Also known as: William Wynne Ryland; primary name: Ryland, William Wynne; other name: Ryland, Bryer & Weston; other name: Ryland & Bryer; other name: Ryland, Bryer & Co
Details: individual; printmaker; publisher/printer; British; Male
Life dates: 1733-1783
Address: 'At ye red Lamp Russel St. Covent Garden' (in 1763) Kings Arms, opposite Royal Exchange in Cornhill (c.1765-6) 27 Cornhill (1767-1772) No. 159 near Somerset House, Strand (1775-81, see below) Cornhill (1782)
Biography: Engraver and publisher. Trained in London with his father Edward Ryland and with S F Ravenet, and in Paris with Boucher and Le Bas (qq.v.); 1761 appointed engraver to the King. 1765-71, in partnership with former apprentice Henry Bryer as printsellers, but firm went bankrupt. However, lettered address on print 1917,1208.3461 is Cornhill, for Ryland & Bryer. In 1774 began series of stipples after Kauffman. Executed for forging bills of exchange (for a transcript of his trial, see www.oldbaileyonline.org) An impression of 'Andromache Weeping over the Ashes of Hector' by Thomas Burke after Kauffman dated March 10 1772, has the Strand address, hence it is possible that Ryland was at the Strand by that date; however as an earlier state with the Cornhill address has the same date, to the day, it may be that he neglected to alter the year.
