Specialist note

According to the artist’s daughter Kitty Shannon (author of For My Children, London, 1933), Tom Shannon, the artist’s younger brother, was an actor. It might have been he who is listed as having had two bit parts on Broadway (in A Princess of Kensington, 1903 and in The Gay White Way, 1907-1908).
