Originally, it was a pencil drawing produced by Lowry in 1956. Salford Museum & Art Gallery asked Lowry if he would record some of the Trinity and St Mathias areas of Salford, Greater Manchester, before the museum moved to a new property. This drawing was made in the spring and purchased by the gallery in the following winter. This print is colour and tone matched to the original drawing.
Laurence Stephen Lowry was born in Stretford, Lancashire in 1887. He began to draw at the age of 8 and at 15 began attending private painting classes. On leaving school in 1904, Lowry began work in Manchester as a clerk with a firm of chartered accountants. He studied painting and drawing in the evenings at the Municipal College of Art (1905-15) and at Salford School of Art (1915-25). Despite his unusually long period as an art student, Lowry considered himself to be a self-taught artist. Lowry is best known for his paintings of industrial landscapes of the north of England.
