Benjamin Williams Leader RA (1831 - 1923)
RA Collection: People and Organisations
He changed his name in 1857 from Benjamin Leader Williams (under which he can be found in Students’ Register) to Benjamin Williams Leader, to avoid being confused with the many other `Williams’ who exhibited at the Royal Academy.
