An artist by the name of T. Lalor exhibited at the Oireachtas art exhibitions throughout the 1940s and once - in 1943
- at the RHA from an address in Carlingford Road, Drumcondra. It is believed this may be the artist Tom Lalor whose
watercolour caricatures of Dublin personalities, dating to 1917-1919, are in the collection of the National Library of
Ireland. Lalor was a commercial artist who between 1912 and 1923 supplied a weekly half-page cartoon to D.P. Moran’s
Leader. He was also involved in poster campaigns for the Irish Independent in the early 1930s. Whyte’s offered a cartoon
dating from circa 1920 on 16 April 2011 as lot 273.
