"MUIRHEAD BONE (1876-), British etcher and painter, was born at Glasgow in 1876. He was educated at Glasgow, afterwards studying in the school of art in that city, and in 1897 and the following years produced some excellent work in black and white for the Scots Pictorial. He established himself in London in 1901, where he quickly made a reputation by his etchings. He was elected to the New English Art Club, and was prominent in founding the Society of Twelve. In 1906 his etching " The Great Gantry, Charing Cross," was bought by the National Art Collections Fund and presented to the British Museum. During the World War his services were enlisted by the British War Office for the production of pictures of the western front, and some of these were subsequently reproduced in volume form.
