Beards and Frowns in a Curious Garden of Notables
A sprawling roster of colorful historic figures appears in a feature on Lon don’s last mayor and other prominent personalities. The list covers politicians, inventors, and magnates from Bamberg to Newport, noting oddities, residences, and feats, from a vast game preserve to a 22 foot high carved throne. The piece mingles anecdotes about Angaroll, Villard, Hartley, Corbin, Train, and Doane with portraits of Danes, Englishmen, and German-born Americans in a portrait of 19th century fame.
