Notes:
Robert James Moser (1828-1908) is noted as a painter of landscapes, active at London between 1871 and 1893 . He exhibited five works at the Royal Academy, from 1871 to 1885, all views on the south coast (see: Wood, Christopher. Victorian painters). At his death in 1908, he resided in Hampstead. Robert Oswald Moser (1874-1953), the youngest of Moser's 11 children, studied at St John's Wood Art School, exhibiting portraits and other paintings between 1904 and 1940. In Graves's The Royal Academy of Arts (1906), Oswald Moser's address is listed as "23 Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead," the same address recorded in the present sketchbook.
