 Some other Solomon paintings that have received significant attention include "Ajax and Cassandra" (1886, "illustration, right") and "The Birth of Love" (1896).Solomon became well known as an innovative portrait artist by the time he painted "Mrs Patrick Campbell as 'Paula Tanqueray"' (1894), her role in Arthur Wing Pinero's "The Second Mrs Tanqueray", and went on to paint a number of portraits of well-known people, including the architect Sir Aston Webb, and later in life, the royals King George V, Queen Mary, and Prince Edward (later King Edward VIII).Solomon was also in demand as a book illustrator, particularly adventure books.
