Little appears to be known about T. Watson Greig of Glencarse (1837-1912). Family history records show that he was a wealthy landowner and JP for Perth, Scotland where he had a number of servants. He was married with two daughters and a son, who was a barrister.
He was an avid collector of antique shoes but it's not known whether he illustrated his books himself, or if they were illustrated by an unknown third party. They were lithographed by George Waterston & Sons.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
