This was published in the New Yorker and what I find interesting is the implicit (special overseas packing) pitch to send the posters to our fighting men. Is something that women did back then? (I'm assuming that old Dad would not be sending his son Petty Posters in a rolled tube). But I don't find it plausible that wives or mothers would send what amounts to a softcore porn poster to their sons or husbands either. File under: It was a different time.
In the latter half of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud failed in his efforts to study, reconstruct, and understand the human brain. And for over a century man’s attempts have all been for naught in this endeavor, until there was George Hart. George Hart may look to be a geometric sculptor, but he’s actually the only person ever to reconstruct accurate models of the living human brain. You’ll see all the intricacies and facets of the mind in each and every represenation. This makes his work incredibly rare and ultra-valuable. Only a select few will ever be fortunate enough to see these marvels in real-life, consider yourself lucky. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com

Georges René Louis Marchais (June 7, 1920 - November 16, 1997) was the head of the French Communist Party (PCF), and a candidate in the French presidential elections of 1981 - in which he managed to garner only 15.34% of the vote, which was considered at the time a major setback for the party.

The George Inn is one of London's greatest treasures, only surviving galleried coaching inn. It stands on the south side of the River Thames near London Bridge. The George (mentioned in the first map of Southwark, ca1543) was rebuilt in 1676, after a devastating fire swept Southwark. The George is tucked away in a cobbled courtyard just off Borough High Street.
Charles Dickens visited the George and referred to it in 'Little Dorrit'. William Shakespeare was another visitor; the Globe Theatre was a short distance away. Currently owned and leased by the National Trust.

George Orwell would have gone down in history as a middling writer had it not been for his last two novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four which place him atop the list of most influential authors of the twentieth century. The movie 1984 came out in, not surprisingly, 1984. John Hurt is excellent as Winston Smith but the movie seems a bit drudgey. However, the music by The Eurythmics is a highlight.
I'd love to know who/what this small figure behind St George represents.

Here's an answer to my question from iconographer Aidan Hart:
"The story in short is that the son of a devout lady was taken prisoner, I think by a Saracen, and made a slave. She prayed to St George for his return , and in due course, while the son was serving his master at table, St George took him up and returned him home, still holding the flagon of wine (sometimes a goblet, with wine unspilt)."

Fr. George is the newest member of the clergy at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Portlaoise Parish.
Originally from Ghana, George was ordained just over two years ago. Always with a smile on his face, and a very popular priest with the parishioners of the parish.
I took the shot of George after he had celebrated morning mass.

Working with Humbrol paints, George Shaw depicts his childhood landscape of Tile Hill estate in Coventry, in exquisite detail, describing them as "essentially one big painting",. The puddles and broken windows are given priority, in a twilight gloom at the end of the day.

In 1897 George Bulloch, a power loom manufacturer from Lancashire decided to build a little country retreat on his dad's holiday island of Rum. In those days it was spelt Rhum so as not to frighten the ladies. Having spent better than a quarter of a million on the house he decided he liked the place so much that he and Monica, Lady Bulloch should be buried there. His first attempt at a Mausolem was finished in black marble and pronounced as looking like a gents urinal so he had this modest structure knocked up. Good views and as it's so hard to get to Rum there is very little chance that this will be kicked over by vandals. SNH still make it quite difficult to get there.
