And again. The Scotsman - 01 February 1939 "THE LATE JOSEPH SIMPSON Edinburgh Memories. The late Joseph Simpson, the well-known artist and designer (writes a correspondent) was prominent in 'an interesting coterie of young artists in the early stage of his career. ... A number of young artists of about the same time used to meet in Simpson's studio in Castle Street. By and by they formed themselves into a club for sketching, as well as 'for discussion and social recreation. ... The company included the late S. J. Peploe, R.S.A.; the late Mr Rbt. Hope, R.S.A; Mr J. D. Ferguson (now resident in Paris where his work is well known); Mr Cruickshanks; the Hon. Morton Stuart (afterwards the Earl of Moray), Mr John Menzies, and Mr Ritchie. This band of zealous young artists formed a notable and interesting group." Tacyarg (talk) 10:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
