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.

Why Book Illustration Deserves a Spot Beside Fine Art Paintings
Let’s have a proper look at something that’s always irked me: the idea that book illustration is somehow a lesser art form than fine art painting.
