History
Wilfred Crawford Applebey was born on 28th January 1889 in Dudley, Worcestershire. He attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1908-1910 and again in the 1912-13 session, as well as between 1917 until 1919 taking evening classes in modelling and architecture whilst working as a sheet metal worker and engraver. From 1912 to 1954, with the exception of 1913 and 1944, he exhibited works at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts every year, usually two or three works a year. He mainly exhibited etchings of Glasgow architectural scenes, but also scenes elsewhere in Scotland, England and abroad, including Paris and Venice. He also exhibited frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy between 1918 and 1954 and at the Aberdeen Artists Society as well as elsewhere in Scotland and overseas.
