Biography
edit
Adolf Manfred Trautschold was born in Giessen, Germany to Wilhelm Trautschold[2] and his British wife Sophia Johnston, an illegitimate daughter of the industrial chemist James Muspratt.[3] His uncle was the palaeontologist Hermann Trautschold. Little is known of his training in art. He married the Belgian Marguerite De Hees, daughter of a merchant, in Dover, Kent on 22 August 1878. They had two sons, Reginald William Trautschold and Gordon Manfred Trautschold.[4] He contributed a painting to an 1882 book Bedford Park,[5] celebrating the then-fashionable garden suburb of that name.[6][7] In 1887 the family emigrated to the US, settling in Montclair, New Jersey.[8] The family home became known as an artists' colony.[9]
He died in Queens, New York City.
