A little about the artist...

Andrew Allan (1863-1940)
Exhibited At:Royal Scottish Academy; RSW; Liverpool; Aberdeen Artists' Society.

The Glasgow School of Art has a collection which includes an Andrew Allan archive, it's referred to at the link below, it might be worth contacting the GSA library for more information. http://www2.gsa.ac.uk/archivesandcollec ... hives.html

The Edinburgh photo website has a small amount of data about the Millar & Lang series of Andrew Allan postcards on the page linked to below (just scroll down to the Millar & Lang entry)
http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_pcv_a/0_p ... st_-_m.htm

Hope the above helps, I suspect that a phone call or email to the Glasgow Scrool of Art library will be your best bet for further information about the artist.
