Whistler and Hunt Pranks and An Eccentric Atlas of Statues
A column recalls Whistler's early prank with an etched map and a plate of caricatures that earned him dismissal, alongside Holman Hunt’s window drawings as a clerk. It notes a recent Dresden statue of Kruger, Boer leaders, and a satirist’s jab at Mr Chamberlain. Coblenz’s fountain bears a Russian inscription, and Baudon faces suit over a long nose portrait. Bradley Martin’s house tour yields a social quip about the Bradley Martins and a cigars-for-tip moment. A dyspepsia cure via a wagon-ride shock is also recounted.
