Vintage Man Graphic

Gypsy — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:07:23 +0000

There are lots of images of women and very few men so here’s some equal time. This guy is John Dunne, a British aircraft designer. Maybe that’s an aircraft hanger in the background instead of a barn. The photo has an old west feel and he could be just as easily standing in front of a saloon.

After a little cropping.

Nostradamus Portrait and Ephemera

Gypsy — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:38:37 +0000

This portrait was painted in the 18th century and the artist is unknown. I wonder what the artist used as a reference considering it was painted two centuries after his lifetime. What we really recognize is the HAT. The guy could be anyone but we know him because of his chapeau.

Here’s the cover from his famous book of prophecies written in 1568. Like most people, I don’t understand the quatrains but I find them interesting. Actually, the art is what is really interesting which is why I built this site!

This is a 1943 pamphlet written in German and published by British intelligence using a Nostradamus prediction that Hitler would fall from power. Just another attempt to try to bring down the Third Reich from within their own country. The propaganda machine never sleeps!

There’s lots of pictures of Marie but how about old Louis XVI? Ok, maybe he isn’t as exciting as Marie but check out his coronation outfit in this painting.

Catholic Holy Man Graphic

This is from an old book with no copyright notice and it’s not clear who this man is. I’m digging the matching pilgrim shoes with those big buckles. Be sure and click on the image for the full size.

This may be the last Lord Calvert but the Canadian whiskey lives on, of course.
