Albert Morrow

[1] Whilst studying under TM Lindsay at the Government School of Art in 1880, Morrow was awarded a £10 prize for drawing from the eminent publishers Cassell, Petter and Galpin.

[4] In 1881, whilst still learning his trade, Morrow painted a mural of Belfast for the Working Men's Institute in Rosemary Street, where his father was chairman.

Morrow then won a three-year scholarship worth £52 per year[7] which he took to the National Art Training School at South Kensington in 1882, where he began a lifelong friendship with the British sculptor Albert Toft.

[1] In 1883, whilst still attending South Kensington, Morrow joined the staff at the English Illustrated Magazine in preparation for the launch of the first edition.

In 1896 a Morrow print was published in Volume 2 of the limited-edition print-collection Les Maîtres de l'Affiche selected by "Father of the Poster" Jules Chéret.

[14] Morrow was one of the founders of the Ulster Arts Club in November 1902 along with five of his brothers, an organisation that had a non-sectarian interest in Celtic ideas, language and aesthetics.

[21] Morrow illustrated books for children and adults, but he is best known for the hundreds of posters he designed for the theatre, with the bulk of his commissions coming from just one lithographical printers, David Allen and Sons.
