This is Stephan Bibrowski, otherwise known as Lionel the Lion-faced Man. Stephan had a condition known as hypertrichosis that caused hair to grow up to eight inches long all over his body

That's very interesting, but still wasn't familiar with this person. JoJo the dog came into my world from a 1910 book on anthropology I bought at the Goodwill when I was 11 or 12. I believe he was a side show performer, and was in the past tense by the time the book I had was in print.

I'll leave myself a note and look him up, but won't be today. Thanks.

Are we speaking of the left hand part of the image or the right hand side? What really draws my attention is why would anyone hang pictures in the corner?

One other thing is on my mind...betcha the machine still works...
