- Vinycomb organised drawing classes at the art studios of Marcus Ward & Sons after normal working hours. These classes were held under the company’s auspices and were open to all for the price of a penny a session. Vinycomb was an internationally acknowledged expert in heraldry who was regularly consulted by the British and European Royalty and Aristocracy.
