Specialist note

The son of John Atkinson Grimshaw, Louis's work testifies to the influence of his father. The two had collaborated during the elder's latter years; John executing scenic backgrounds and Louis the figures. Many of Louis's paintings depict London, often commissioned direct by the art dealer Jackson, they include a highly-celebrated series commemorating Edward VII's coronation.
