The first Cyrus Wakefield, the man who founded the Wakefield Rattan Company around 1855 and who lent his name to the town in 1868, is actually on the right. The man on the left is his nephew, Cyrus Wakefield II, who took over the company in 1873 following his uncle's death. The business eventually became the Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company.
