About the author
Frank Cuttriss was a pseudonym used for Romany Life (1915), a book published by Mills & Boon. Reliable sources connect that name to Francis Robert Hinkins, an English author, photographer, and illustrator.
Hinkins is remembered not only for writing but also for his documentary eye. He contributed many photographs to Arthur Mee’s well-known children’s books, and sources note that Romany Life drew on long personal contact with Romani communities.
Because information under the name Frank Cuttriss is quite limited, most confirmed biographical details come through Hinkins rather than the pseudonym itself. No suitable verified portrait image could be confirmed from the available page images.
