About the author
An artist, journalist, and traveler, Julius Mendes Price was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He worked as a war correspondent, explorer, and caricaturist, and became especially known for drawings published in Vanity Fair, where he signed his work with names such as "Imp" and "Jmp."
Price also turned his reporting into books, often building them from newspaper travel series. His writing reflects a reporter's curiosity and an illustrator's eye for detail, which makes his accounts especially vivid for modern readers.
Born in London in 1857, he died on September 29, 1924. Across his career, he moved easily between art and journalism, leaving behind a body of work that captures the places, people, and public life of his time.
