RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 11-19-2014
Kudos, Dave!!!
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-15-2015
Who resided here?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 01-15-2015
I have no clue as I don't think I've ever seen that building before. But I know nothing of the Rathbones' accommodations in Germany, so I will guess the Rathbones lived in this building?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-15-2015
This is an excellent guess, Roger, but not correct. If any photo of the Rathbones' Hannover home in Heinrichstr. 27a (2nd floor, rear side), exists it won't be a post-WWII photo as the house was destroyed in the war. This is the building #27 nowadays:
The opposite houses are still original Wilhelminian style, and this is the house exactly opposite to #27:
Hint #1: The residents of the house in my question moved away in 1865. (BTW, did you notice the house was exposed to the Polarwirbel?)

Senator John P. Hale home, Dover, New Hampshire?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-16-2015
Kudos, Dr. Houmes!!! That is correct!
To distract from the cold torpor of winter I checked the prize vault on some fiery Spanish prize, and it was hard to decide. E.g. I found this:

...or charming Paloma Herrera as Kitri in "Don Quixote" (sure a favorite of mine):
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VMOPF4WYYLE
...or the great Narciso Yepes (a Catalan, NOT a Spaniard from the Catalan point of view...) playing Joaquín Rodrigo's wonderful "Concierto de Aranjuez":
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxwceLlaODM
- no, too lugubrious, doesn't really warm and cheer up in winter.
I finally decided on letting you enjoy a drink of Manzanilla and dance the Séguedille with Carmenita and her friend Pastia near the walls of Seville - and has there ever been a darker, more magical voice?

¡Hala - viva la alegría!
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-30-2015
Who is this gentleman?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 01-30-2015
Is that John Buckingham, the doorkeeper at Ford's Theatre?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-30-2015
Very good guess, Roger, but this gentleman pursued a different profession.
Hint #1: A close look at his hands might reveal the gentleman's profession.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Angela - 01-30-2015
That is Auguste Nélaton, right?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-30-2015
Kudos, Angela, you stumped and stunned me!!! This is correct! I just have to ask - how did you know? I thought this was a real hard one except for Dave, who has a great article on Dr. Nélaton:
http://boothiebarn.com/2012/06/29/artifact-history-nelaton-probe/
There you will also find the entire photo showing Dr. Nélaton and his famous patient Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose injured leg actually helped to turn the tide of European public opinion of the CW in favor of the Union. Despite y'all sure remember the Nélaton probe...
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 01-30-2015
When and Where was this photo taken?
http://www.fordstheatre.org/sites/default/files/thumb-history-1866.jpg
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 01-30-2015
I don't know the year, but I think it's inside Ford's Theatre well after the assassination. The government turned it into an office building.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 01-30-2015
Ding Ding Ding! It was right after the conversion in 1866.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Angela - 01-31-2015
Eva, I remember this photo from one of my biology books - as you said it showed him with Garibaldi and I remember thinking, as a kid, how strange it was to have a picture like this taken. I was totally surprised to still remember it.
