Footnote
S. Gibbs & Moore was a partnership established in 1871 by Arthur Louis Moore and S. Gibbs, originally branding themselves ‘artists in stained glass and mural decorations’. They initially had premises at Great Russell Street and then moved to Southampton Row. In around 1879 the firm was renamed A.L. Moore & Co.
