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. ![]() printed back label, with Wilmas 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 " Rocket " is almost identical to the picture above (the difference being the position of the young man running next to the carriage: in the image above he is next to the carriage; in the Leemangrph he is behind). |
