Comment
editForeword indicates that was residing in London in 1883, though the surname does show in common record searches of that period or a range of time around that period. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:48, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Searches of the 19thC British newspapers show three hits in 1882, 1882, and 1883 around publications, and all refer to as M. Torceanu, which indicate this as a polite reference of a gentleman, as noted above. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Definitely reasonable to identify the author as Ricard Torceanu. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:54, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
