Yes, when they have spent a long time working on a piece of artwork they
want people to know who created it.  I spent 6-7 hours on a huge picture
of The White Tower by Richard Boye'.  If I had left off the original
pictures creator people would just assume that I had created the picture
from my imagination.  He would not get the credit he deserves for a
fantastic picture.  It's like getting a Van Gogh and scratching off the
signature.

It can help the person to know who to request pictures from, if they need 
specialised ones.

I understand this problem happening.  I expect that someone will tell you
if they see a picture that they recognise.
