"GAC" and "H.G. Theaker" pencil inscribed upper left and center on verso. Biography: Born January-March 1873 in Wolstanton, Staffordshire. He was the son of George Theaker (1835-1902, born in Sheffield, Yorkshire), headmaster (principal) of the School of Art in Burslem from 1869-94 and designer for pottery. His younger brother, Charles Edmund (1875-1903) was an apprentice designer modeller and then a teacher at the Wedgwood Institute in Burslem around 1900.

His first known published works date from about 1911, and most of his illustrations date from the 1920s and 1930s.
