Twice life size bust in bronze of Hermann Goering by Johannes Friedrich Rogge, recently sold on the Internet.  The dagger was included by the auctioning site to indicate the scale of the work.  Oh well - the Reichsmarschall was always a bit of a bighead ... JR.

Another Nazi bust.

... well, that's what his family said; the Third is more likely.  George M. Cohan (1878-1943), producer, impresario, inventor of the Broadway musical, and author of numerous songs including what for me is the best American rallying song of two World Wars, "Over There" (1917).  The resemblance with James Cagney, who played him in the fictionalised biopic "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942) is pretty close.  Again, happy Independence Day, Yanks !  Best regards, JR.

Born on the Fourth of July ...

Bronze bust of Dr Paul Joseph Goebbels, Reich Propaganda and Public Enlightenment Minister, recently offered for sale on the Internet.  Artist unknown.  Best regards, JR.
