The photograph was part of the Kineton Parkes Bequest, donated to the V&A in 1938, having been collected as part of Parkes' research into sculptors and their circles. Parkes, a writer and art historian specializing in sculpture, had sent questionnaires to artists in the 1920s, and this image was among those submitted in response.
