"I have been debating about the care taking of these three delightful water-color and sketch by Geoffrey Paget, Inspector of schools, UK. Pages is the son of H.M. Paget, the black and white illustrator of the original Sherlock Holmes books, as well as an academy painter. A priceless comment on W.B. Yeats "the gland old man" referring to Yeats's sheep gland infusion, popular in the early 1900s. Geoffrey Paget is also the nephew of Florence Farr (the son of her sister) and refers to my book Florence Farr: GBS's New Woman. Paget gifted me with W.B. Yeats's Secret Rose and others in UM Richter Special Collections, which came to his library after his mother (Henrietta Farr Paget) had sorted through Florence Farr's belongings, after her death in 1917 in Ceylon (Shri Lanka). W.B. Yeats had given these books to F.F.
Paget's wife is Nora Dryhurst. His father in the 1800s was associated with the British museum, among other accolades." -Josephine Johnson
