History
Herbert Earle, 1884-1975, was born in England. He studied art and design at the Bolt Court Institute of Lithographic Art in London and qualified as a master engraver. In 1909 he married Adeliza Rhoda Wheatley, and they had six daughters, Ruby (McMullin), Eva (Clapham), Doris (Curtis), Louise (Sales), Lucy (McGee), and Adela (Anderson). He served with a militia regiment in London, and served in Burma during the First World War. After his discharge in 1920 he joined his wife and family, who were already living in Calgary, Alberta, and bought The Engraving Company there. He was accomplished as an engraver, calligrapher, illustrator, and graphic designer. He was also active in the theatrical scene in Calgary, and taught theatre arts at the Banff School of Fine Arts.
