Reading about another fine #MayfairEccentric #marinbutchell became known as #thebearfofmayfair due to his life's work of growing his beard, a challenge which he embarked upon after his wife died. He embalmed his wife with #hunter who started the #huntarian museum. He installed his wife sitting in his living room & road up & down mount st on a horse he painted spots on. Women travelled from around Europe paying 3 Guinea a hair of his his beard to ensure the birth of healthy male children. (at Royal Over-Seas League)
