Life and Career
Leonard Charles Evetts [1909-1997] was an English watercolor painter, stained glass artist and designer.

He was born in Newport, Wales in 1909. His father was a builder and painting contractor and early in his life Leonard was taught the art of signwriting. This fired his enthusiasm for both calligraphy and the elements of good design, an enthusiasm that lasted his entire life. Whilst studying at the Royal College of Art, Leonard began work on his definitive study 'Roman Lettering'. First published in 1938, it ran to ten editions and was still in print fifty years later.
