Claim: Theodore Andrea Cook traveled in Europe and published authoritarian works on sculpture, and through his writing he was led into journalism and became an editor.
Evidence: This inspired him to travel particularly in Europe and to publish authoritarian works on Old Provence, Twenty-five Great Houses of France, Leonardo da Vinci and sculpture among many others, some of which were illustrated by his mother. As a freelance he wrote for the old Standard and contributed to the Daily Telegraph articles on rowing by "An Old Blue". In 1910 he became editor of The Field, the County Gentleman's Newspaper, a position he still held at the time of his death in 1928.
