Richard Henry Richards b. 10 February 1856

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Richard Henry Richards, sketcher, calligrapher and draughtsman, died at the age of 20. His masterpiece was considered to be a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm of Prussia, not painted but composed entirely of different densities of handwriting, describing in German major incidents in the emperor's life. Richards forwarded this to the Kaiser in 1876, who sent him a reward for his admirable efforts, though unfortunately it arrived after his early and untimely death.
