Taken from a series of Halifax town centre drawings by Cuthbert Crossley (1883-1960), who worked in oils, water-colours and etchings, producing landscapes and architectural views. He was born in Halifax, presumably part of the local Crossley family, studied at Halifax School of Art (though largely self-taught) and worked for a while as a designer for Crossley's Carpets. He later taught part-time at Halifax School of Art and exhibited at the Royal Academy and Paris Salon, amongst other academic societies.
