C. Morgan studied at the Slade and took the 1924 Prix de Rome for engraving. "His detailed classical figure subjects were inspired by 16th century German engravers and are splendid in design ... they include his masterpiece Perseus (1929) ... it is scarcely a tribute to such a distinguished artist that so little has been recorded about him" (Guichard, British Etchers 1850-1940, page 51).
