| Notes: |
Photograph has "wood carving" written in pencil on the reverse. Edward Sweetland embossed stamp is on the mount. Date based on similar photographs in the collection. Large cabinet in background thought to be designed by Shaw Wilson woodcarving instructor. John Rutland's thesis has colour photo of 'lockers with 'Renaisance Panels' designed by Shaw Wilson c1920.' which appears to be the same piece of furniture. |
