I have several books I want to upload, but need to check for copyright status.

First, author "Maggie Browne", pseudonym of Margaret Hamer Andrewes. She has two illustrated by Arthur Rackham that I want to upload.

She apparently started publishing circa 1884. Her last listed book is reported as 1910, but the Rackham illustrations are annotated 1900/1901, so I think there may have been a delay in publication.

Even the wonderful site "General Catalog of Old Books and Authors" has no biography dates for her:

Then, some artists who illustrated for John Kendrick Bangs ---

J. T. Richards and "G W A" --- "Half-hours with Jimmieboy"

.

and "F B S" --- "Mantel-Piece Minstrels"
https://archive.org/details/mantelpi...nggoog/page/n6

If anyone can provide information about any of these folks, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for ANY help.
