It is signed, titled and annotated, 'Ed. 12', by Robert Spray in pencil along the lower border.

After graduating from High School he was awarded a scholarship and studied art techniques at the California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland. In 1937, Robert Spray, along with several other Oakland artists such as Norval Gill, was commissioned by the W.P.A. Federal Art Project, to create stained glass windows, murals, mosaics and paintings. Shortly thereafter both Spray and Gill settled in Tucson and became full members of the Tucson Art Center.
  With the outbreak of the Second World War, Robert Spray served in the U.S. Army. After the war's end he returned to Tucson, joining the staff at Consolidated Vultee as a draftsman and illustrator. Several years later, Robert Spray opened his silkscreen printing company and was instrumental in introducing this newly invented artform to the artists of Arizona.
