Frederick William Hayes ( 13 July 1848, Freshfield - 7 September 1918, London) was an English landscape painter, illustrator, playwright, and novelist.[1][2] He was educated in architecture at Liverpool College,[3] and studied painting with Henry Dawson. He founded the Liverpool Watercolour Society, had his work shown in more than ten exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1872 and 1891, and produced more than 3,000 illustrations during her career.[4] His novel The Great Revolution of 1905; or, The Story of the Phalanx, With an Introductory Account of Civilization in Great Britain at the Close of the Nineteenth Century (1893) is considered an example of the type of literary utopianism that was flourishing during the late 19th century.[5] By 1922 his paintings were part of the collections of the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum among other institutions.[6]
