Originally a pencil drawing produced in 1929, the dwellings were built in 1893 by the Yorkshire and Lancashire Railway Company and contained sixty properties. Lowry has captured the magnificent architecture of the building which was rounded at one end. This print is colour and tone matched to the original.
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.
