Notes: born in Ossett, Eli Marsden Wilson was the only son of Alfred Wilson, a foreman beamer, and Emma Marsden, and had five sisters. After studying at Wakefield College of Art, he moved to the Royal College of Art in London, where he became a pupil of Sir Frank Short. He had his first exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1905, the same year he married fellow artist Hilda Mary Pemberton. A Quaker, vegetarian, and pacifist, he was a conscientious objector in World War I and as such was imprisoned in 1917 for two years. In September 1922 he was commissioned by Princess Marie Louise to produce miniature etchings for Queen Mary's Dolls' House at Windsor Castle; two such etchings are being sold in the Spring Art Sale, Friday 15th March 2024, Lot 265.
