Hello 1909ventilo!
I am researching Maxwell Shieff for a school project–could you please tell me where you got your information on him, and if you know anything further about Shieff? Thank you so much!

Hi Maura! I’m not really sure, I wrote this post so long ago, I don’t know where my notes are, and I don’t think there’s a lot written about him. I think I may have referenced an old auction catalog. I should of written more of my source in my post. Sorry I’m not more help for your project! 🙂
