Wilfrid Jasper Walter Blunt (1901–1987) was an art teacher, author, artist and curator of the Watts Gallery at Compton, Surrey. He taught art at Haileybury School and Eton College and helped to start a revolution in the hand-writing of British school-children, using the 15th c. Italian Cancellaresca ("Chancery") script[1] as a basis.[2][3]

His brother was Anthony Blunt, Poussin expert and spy.[4]
