Mary Greg was a significant contributor to the collections of Manchester Art Gallery. She collected everyday domestic objects during the late 1800s and early 1900s. She was particularly interested in pre-industrial handmade objects and wanted to preserve examples of traditional artisan skills.
Charles Rutherston was a significant contributor to the collections of Manchester Art Gallery. He was not an artist, but a retired Bradford-based textile businessman and philanthropist with a passionate love of art both as a collector and a generous friend and patron to artists. He gifted his collection to Manchester Art Gallery in 1925 as he was impressed by Manchester’s reputation for being ‘public spirited’.
