RYLAND, WILLIAM WYNNE (1738-1783) ,
English
  engraver, was born in London in July 1738, the son of an engraver and copper-
plate
  printer. He studied under Ravenet, and in Paris under
Boucher
  and J. P. le Bas. After spending five years on the continent he returned to England, and having engraved portraits of George III. and Lord Bute after Ramsay, and a portrait of Queen Charlotte and the Princess Royal after Francis
Cotes
 , R.A., he was appointed engraver to the king. In 1766 he became a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists, and he exhibited with them and in the Royal
Academy
 . In his later
life
 
Ryland
  abandoned line-engraving, and introduced "
chalk
 -engraving," in which the line is composed of stippled dots, and in which he transcribed Mortimer's " King John Signing Magna Charta," and copied the drawings of the old masters and the works of Angelica Kauffman. In consequence of his extravagant habits his affairs became involved; he was convicted of forging bills upon the
East
  India Company, and, after attempting to commit suicide, was executed at Tyburn on the 29th of August 1783.
