Robert Smirke was a British painter and illustrator, who trained at the Royal Academy schools and was later made a member of the Academy.
It is speculated that the king's rejection was related to Smirke's "revolutionary" political views; for example, he later contributed illustrations for a poem calling for the abolition of the slave trade.
Robert Pollard and Francis Jukes were British engravers who produced many prints together, with Pollard doing the etching and Jukes the aquatinting, sometimes after Pollard’s own designs.

Further rebuilding was undertaken at the turn of the century; steam gave way to electricity; dwellings were taken over; and the work of construction and renovation became a continuous process as the Mint endeavoured to cope with an enormous increase in the demand for coinage at home and abroad.
By the 1960s little of the original mint remained, apart from the dignified Smirke building and its gatehouse in the front.
