Biography
Arthur Frankau was the son of Bavarian-born Joseph Frankau, a Jewish merchant who moved to London from Frankfurt in 1837. Arthur ran the firm successfully, but suffered a bad shock from a breach of verbal trust with a major supplier, and he soon died, to be replaced as head of the firm by his 21-year-old son, the future novelist Gilbert Frankau.
