Joseph Rous Paget-Fredericks was an artist, designer, dancer, and children’s book author and illustrator based in Berkeley, California. He was born in San Francisco, California on December 22, 1903, although various sources record his birth as 1902, 1903, 1905, and 1909. A family story claims he was born on the eve of the 1906 earthquake and fire. Early records and signatures record his name as J.E. Paget Fredericks. His mother, Constance Paget Jackson, (sometimes recorded as Constance Rous-Marten Paget-Jackson) was born in California to English parents. His father, Arthur Remy Fredericks (sometimes noted as Arthur Remy von Höe[h]nthal Fredericks), was also California-born. Details regarding family history and early personal history are not clear, and embellishments are present among autobiographical notes and news clippings in the Paget-Fredricks papers.
