author
b. 1883
An early 20th-century writer on trade and economics, this author is best known for a detailed study of Argentina as a growing market for British business. Very little biographical information survives online, which gives the work an intriguing period feel of its own.

by Nowell Lake Watson
Published records available online identify this author as Nowell Lake Watson (born 1883). He is credited with The Argentine as a Market, a report based on travel in Argentina in 1906–1907 and published in 1908 by Manchester University Press.
The book looks closely at Argentine industry, commerce, and investment at a moment when the country was attracting strong international attention. From the surviving catalog and library records, Watson appears to have written as an observer of markets and trade, with a practical interest in how Argentina connected to British economic life.
Beyond that, confirmed personal details are scarce in the sources I could verify. No reliable portrait image turned up on the pages available, so it is safer to leave that part blank than to guess.
