I wouldn't have suspected such a thing existed, but I'm glad I saw it. Stupid caption. |

Always interested to see this again. He lived well into the age of photography, so it perhaps surprising that there are not more photographs of him. |

It was exhibited at the National Portrait gallery in 2015 and is remarkably well preserved and distinct. Its provenance seems watertight and the photographer was a well known snapper of celebrities. It is extraordinary, but true, that it is the only photo of DoW. Odder still that Uxbridge/Anglesey lived on and not a single pic of him. This is indeed well into the age of photography/daguerrotypes |

Great picture- unrelated, except at the "technology preserves a small memoir of a famous man," but this is the voice of old General Von Moltke the elder, recorded by Edison in 1889: YouTube link What wouldn't we all give to have one of the Great Duke? |

Someone should do a photoshop clean-up and colourisation of a copy of the picture. Makes you wonder who the thumb-print in the top right hand corner belongs to and whoever left it there was probably right-handed. And I don't think that it would be the image-maker's as he would avoid putting his fingers anywhere near the image. So perhaps that could be the Dukes too? Paul :) |
gets started with Flintloque.
