History
Stafford Northcote Bell (06/05/1879) began attending the Glasgow School of Art in 1913. He attended evening classes at the GSA for three years. Initially, he studied both Costume Class, taught by Mr Mains, and Etching taught by Miss Crawford. By 1915, however, it seems that he was taking evening classes only in Etching.
The costume classes involved the study of the "history and evolution of Dress and its Decoration,… manners, and customs." Costume models were also provided for the students to draw. The Etching Classes took place every Wednesday Evening, they involved the teaching of copper, zinc and other metal etching and printing.
While Stafford was at the GSA, his occupation was listed as "Tobacco Manufacturer". It is likely that he was related to J & F Bell, a notable Tobacco Manufacturer based in Merchant City in Glasgow. Stafford resided first in Hyndland, and then in Hillhead in the West End of Glasgow. Stafford died in 1928, his occupation was listed as a Tobacco Factory Manager.
