Wilfrid Blunt

Wilfrid Jasper Walter Blunt, known simply as Wilfrid Blunt, was an art teacher, writer, artist, and a curator of the Watts Gallery in Compton, Surrey, from 1959-83. Blunt was born at Ham in Surrey and educated at Marlborough College, leaving in July 1920 for Worcester College, Oxford, and finally at the Royal College of Art. He was art master at Haileybury College (1923–38) and then at Eton College (1938–59).

He was awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society for his book The Art of Botanical Illustration in 1950, which was considered the first comprehensive review of botanical illustration in Europe. The sixth international exhibition of botanical art and illustration held in 1988 at the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was dedicated to Blunt. He had been a member of the Advisory Committee to the Institute since 1964.

His namesake Wilfrid Scawen Blunt was a distant family cousin.
