Robert John Woods

Robert John Woods (1870-1955) was a multi-talented textile designer, artist and occasional operatic singer.  As can be seen from the invitation, he worked out of 12 Linenhall Street in Belfast which was in close proximity to many linen manufacturers for whom he was a freelance designer.
