Duke of Windsor photographs from LIFE

[voxsartoria]

The Google searchable set.

The most startling photograph is of a Señor Member of this great iForum who apparently time traveled back to join the Duke:

He either traveled back in time...or more disturbing perhaps...he is immortal.

More startling than this? http://tbn0.google.com/hosted/images...84636f_landing But most of all, I still find this coat amazing. It looks pretty 'loose' still, but when it moves, it's the business.

I have been trying to come up with an idea for a raglan sleeve wrap coat, but I want DB. I have been struggling with how it would look.

What do you think of this, with an added belt?

I actually HAD a coat very similar to that in the early 80's. Thrift store and beat up but I loved it in the day...

He has the millennium bug, he can't recognize dates beyond 1999 (or 1899!)

Hmph, more 'badass' than Agnelli? It could just be that Hitler-esque hairdo (and nose), in which case it ceases to be badass and becomes just plain ass

Is there general info on this LIFE set? When did Google partner with LIFE to do this?

Well, technically there is no LIFE anymore.

Anyway, it's recent apparently:

They don't say whether they are paying TimeWarner for the rights. One has to assume that they are.
