Portraits of Lancashire Literary Figures

Over time we will develop an archive of the literary and recorded tradition of the County. Sometimes it's nice to put a face to the verse. Below here we see the photos of many of the notable Lancashire literary figures. In addition to the photos are three charcoal originals of Waugh,Brierley and Laycock presented to the Society by Bob Dobson, for which we thank him. They were executed, according to Bob, by an Indian artist but the signature is not clear. Can anyone help?
