Great article, thank you! I learned quite a bit that I hadn't known about Wallace, too.

I was home briefly for lunch today and did a 'hit and run' post to get back to work.
Quite the find in that long ago antique store. And to think Wallace's collection here remains intact.
Am sure with the likes of the Smithsonian and American Museum of Nat. Hist. at the bidding, the owner's bank account will soon be evolving big time. |
