This is one of two drawings purchased by the historical society in 2008 . Both are a product of the Attic Abode which was a community of artists based in Leeds who occupied a cottage in Main St. Barwick-in-Elmet at weekends in the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century. The artists were also associated with the Savage Club in Leeds.
