Artist Biography
Donald Maxwell (14 April 1877 – 25 July 1936) was an English writer and illustrator, still notable for his topographical paintings. Several of his works were displayed as prints in railway carriages.
Donald Maxwell was born in Clapham, Surrey.
Maxwell trained in London at the Clapham School of Art, the University College London Slade School of Fine Art, and the Royal College of Art. In 1907, he married Fanny Eveline Marie Morgan (died 1954) and lived with her initially in a yacht moored on the River Thames at Southend on Sea named "Puffin". They moved to Rochester, Kent and then to the adjacent village of Borstal, where their elder daughter Audrey Eveline Lucilla was born in 1909. A second daughter, Veronica Edith Stanley, was born in 1914.
He was soon writing and illustrating extensively for The Yachting Monthly and other magazines. In about 1909, he became a regular correspondent for the Daily Graphic and the illustrated weekly.
Interest in Maxwell's work as an artist has continued. Several of his topographical paintings were bought by the Southern Railway and displayed as prints in railway carriages. These have since become collectors' items.
