Work signed lower left Tom Curr (Thomas Curr 1887-1958). Artist and draughtsman, born in Edinburgh, where he continued to live. He was educated at Daniel Stewart's College, the former Life School at the Mound and the University of Edinburgh.

After serving in the army during the First World War, Curr returned to the printing firm McLagan and Cumming, where he had entered as an apprentice artist, eventually becoming general manager.
