 Comment I am seeing two distinct references to "Wilmot Lunt" and showing in Wikidata. VIAF has a different middle set of dates and less certainty. The one in The dictionary of British book illustrators and caricaturists, 1800-1914 [1] is definitely this one with these years. The Hertford reference is specific and ha provenance with primary and secondary records. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Can see claims that there are two cousins, Samuel Wilmot Lunt, and John Wilmot Lunt, both reputedly artists. Problem is that I can see evidence that they are likely cousins, the Samuel Lunt, born c. 1859 in Warrington is not called Samuel Wilmot in any official records, only in family trees, nor evidence that they were an artist, nor living in Hertfordshire; instead living in Warrington whole life and as a carter. The dates of life for Samuel Lunt are 1857 to 1938.
