| biography:
| Artist, born in Aberdeen, NE Scotland, UK. After being political cartoonist for the Manchester Chronicle (1895–7), and a portrait painter in London, he found his true medium in stained-glass work, notably the window group which Britain contributed to the Palace of Peace at The Hague. He designed the windows for the shrine of the Scottish National War Memorial, and other examples of his work may be seen in King's College Chapel, Aberdeen, and the University Chapel, Glasgow. |
