John Penry Hyde "Luxor" Price (1874-1950) was an American illustrator of only about half a dozen books who was born in Cardiff, Wales. Emigrating in 1893 he became personal secretary to James Gregory McLoughlin who was a railway official and heir to the McLoughlin publishing empire. Price was self-taught and specialised in fantasy maps. His first published work, "All Mother Goose Panorama", was very well received and he went on to create "Quoks", a book of funny little people, to entertain his son.
