Who is William Strang?

That’s more like it

Signed in pencil below image by the engraver: Wm Strang, inscribed by David Strang with title and: Perhaps 3rd state of 4. DS. George Moore half-length, his left arm slightly raised.

This is the second frontispiece of Moore’s Confessions of a Young Man. Like the third by Mortimer Menpes, it was drawn from a photograph by William Page supplied by Moore. Strang’s fee of ten pounds was deducted from Moore’s royalties.

Published in George Moore, Confessions of a Young Man (1888); and in Elsie E. Morton, editor, Maxims of George Moore (1915 and 1927). Owned by the British Museum, London, England.
