E Anthony Orme

Anthony was born in Manchester in 1945 to an expanding family of eight.His mother was a very gifted artist who could draw a portrait from memory.
On leaving school he was apprenticed as a copper plate and steel die hand engraver.To gain this position he had to prove his artistic experience and produce many sketches at the time to qualify.
Later on in life he decided that the art side of his work had a greater pull and became a full time professional artist
