Provenance: From the collection of the late Paddy Walsh, friend of the artist.

Paddy and Maureen Walshmet Campbell in the 1940s through the artists brother Arthur Campbell. In 1946, following George Campbells first successful solo exhibition at the Victor Waddington Galleries in Dublin, Campbell began making regular trips to Dublin staying with Nano Reid in Fitzwilliam Square and with Paddy Walsh in Marino, North Dublin. The Walshs soon became part of Campbells inner circle visiting the couple in Spain, Roundstone, Virginia and Dublin. In 1966 a booklet, George Campbell RHA was published by Three Candle Press, where Paddy Walsh was employed and one year later Paddy Walsh set up Walsh Studios at his home in Marino and he collaborated with Campbell and Arthur Armstrong in publishing a folio of eight prints which were widely popular.
