The Latin phrase ‘cui bono?’ can be loosely translated into English idiom as 'who’s getting paid?'. The artist, Albert Toft, came from a family of Staffordshire artists in pottery and silverwork. He was apprenticed as a modeller at Wedgwood's, then after evening classes locally went on to study at the Royal College of Art in London.
