Entered The Picture And Halla: There's a corollary to this. Linker's wife, an extraordinarily beautiful young blonde, spoke with a slight accent, so I ventured to ask if she was of Scandinavian origin.
"I'm an Icelander," she said, and then I learned from Linker that he had noticed her on a street in Reykjavik, at a time when she was a graduating student of the university. Thinking she would make an ideal model for his camera, he managed, through the Tourist Bureau, to make acquaintance with the family and secure her services. Cupid quickly entered the picture and Halla Gudmundsdottir, for that was her name, became Mrs. Linker.
You should have no difficulty getting cooperation from the show director, who can give you a standing as official photographer for the event. If you get this status, it will be worth your while to shoot a picture of every animal entered the picture and Halla and then offer prints to the owners.
Toward the end of the 18th century, K. G. Langhans modeled his Brandenburg Gate (1789— 1793) in Berlin, on the Propylaea of Athens. But the purest examples of the Greek Revival were built after 1825. Leo von Klenze based the Wal-halla (1831-1842) at Regensburg, Germany, on the Parthenon, as did Thomas Hamilton in the High School (begun 1825) at Edinburgh. The British Museum (1824-1847), London, by Sir Robert Smirke, screens its center and wings behind a Greek Ionic colonnade. |
