The late Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, 1871. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Maull and Co. 'Alderman Sir Francis Graham Moon, whose death was lately announced, had attained the age of seventy-five, and had long been a notable person in the City. His success as a publisher of artistic engravings, more especially those of contemporary historical interest, such as "The Waterloo Banquet at Apsley House, " is very well known. Many Londoners will remember his shop, at the corner of Finch-lane and Threadneedle-street. Besides making a fortune in this trade, he became the lucky possessor, under the Corporation of London, of the ground which is now the site of Royal Exchange-buildings, Cornhill. He was Sheriff of London and Middlesex in 1813, and was afterwards Alderman of Portsoken Ward, but latterly of Bridge Ward. In 1851 he was chosen Lord Mayor, and received the Emperor and Empress of the French at Guildhall in 1855, when he was made a Baronet. He married, in 1818, a daughter of Mr. Chancellor, of Kensington. One of his sons died a few months ago. The elder son, who now takes the title, is the Rev. Edward Graham Moon, M.A., Rector of Fetcham, near Leatherhead'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
