Edvard Grieg is Norway's greatest composer. This photograph is taken at the height of his career, in London, which he began visiting from the late 1880's, and where he kept returning till his death. At the time of this photograph, Grieg's fame was at its peak, and his music was more popular in England that that of any other living composer. He was awarded honorary doctorates at both Oxford and Cambridge Univeristies.
