The painter lived in Dundee for many years. I always assumed the portrait was of an Auckland news seller because that's where we live (New Zealand). Can you share some more details/stories about Tommy Small?

At about 12.30, someone delivered the "Tully" - which the manager then passed over to me. Apparently there is now just the one edition, which I assume is printed late morning - I remember not too many years back there were several editions, the late one being distributed at the back of 4pm across the city.
