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 " 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).
It seems probable that Calmon made woven pictures for a number of different outlets.
