These painted canvases were once part of the interior scheme of 'The Arcadian Gallery' at 132 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, a venue closely associated with the Glasgow Style movement. They were carried out by members of the Scottish Guild of Handicraft, probably to a design by Henry T. Wyse. They were most likely originally part of a continuous frieze.
Established in 1907 by Henry T. Wyse and A.J.H. Moffat, the gallery combined a vegetarian restaurant with continuous exhibitions of pictures by contemporary artists. Wyse oversaw all the interior design.
The Arcadian Gallery underwent a redevelopment in the 1950s and this fabric was removed and sold privately.
