There is a label attached to the reverse of this picture, stating that the tapestry was woven in Yorkshire, without giving a name.
The Wilmas Galleries, Coventry name is also printed, and in the absence of any other information, the picture is recorded under their name.

It is perhaps worth noting that the National Railway Museum, York commissioned several tapestries from H. H. CALMON & CO. LTD, Keighley, Yorkshire. One of those, titled " Inter-City 125 " is almost identical to the picture above (the difference being the colour of the lower front: in the image above it is white; in the Leemangrph it is yellow).
It seems probable that Calmon made woven pictures for a number of different outlets.
