Small was an apprentice alongside Stephen Adam in the studio of James Ballantine. The two of them set up a company in 1885 where Small experimented with firing large sheets of glass: “It is the intention of Mr Small to send on an early date a stained plate to Professor Archer, to be placed among the other products of native genius in the Industrial Museum”. Small moved to Dundee, where he was the Dundee Advertiser’s chief illustrator for 30 years.
