Muirhead Bone (1876-1953) was born in a suburb of Glasgow and went on to study architecture and art at Glasgow School of Art. In the late 1890s, he began to study printmaking, and soon became known as one of the best printmakers of his time. Bone moved to London in 1901 and had his first exhibition in 1902. In 1916, he was appointed as Britain’s first Official War Artist by Charles Masterman (1873-1927), head of the British War Propaganda Bureau, and was given the task of recording the events and settings of the First World War. He played an important role in the founding of the Imperial War Museum and was appointed a trustee in 1920. Bone was knighted by George VI in 1937 and was once again the first war artist to be appointed when the Second World War broke out
