His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. Maurice Greiffenhagen (1862 - 1931) was a British painter and Royal Academician. He illustrated books and designed posters as well as painting idyllic landscapes. W. H. Smith and Son, London blindstamp to front free endpaper.
