Roaring Twenties

Awesome photo! J. Edgar Hoover as he was... in the time of Lovecraft!

 

Past Life

When I looked at this picture the first time, for a moment I saw a younger Rudolph Giuliani.

 

Wow

What a captivating portrait! One gets used to the pictures of him from the 1950's and 60's, this is a nice contrast.
