She was very beautiful.

From a Google-cached page listing of "Scientists Who Have Contributed to Our Knowledge of Freshwater Crab Biology," retrieved Jan. 20, 2009 - she is listed under "African Freshwater Crab Carcinologists" Isabella Gordon 18 May 1901 – 11 May 1988 British carcinologist. Obtained her Ph.D. degree (1926) from the University of London, awarded D.Sc. (1928) by the University of Aberdeen, and received the Order of the British Empire in 1961. In her early years she studied echinoderms, and made working visits to the U.S.(Hopkins Marine Station, California; Woods Hole, Massachusetts; U.S. National Museum, Washington D.C.). Assistant Keeper of Crustacea at the British Museum (Natural History) (Now The Natural History Museum, London) until her retiremen in 1966. The original page, apparently compiled by Dr. Neil Cumberlidge at Northern Michigan University, is no longer there. faculty.nmu.edu/ncumberl/Neil/MainFWC-website/FWCCarcinol... There's a piece on her (probably an obit) in the Nov. 1988 issue of the Journal of Crustacean Biology if someone has access to JSTOR. (I don't on my home computer) And in Crustaceana, Vol. 56, No. 1 (1989)

She is pretty. And that's quite a stare.

Nice shot, Beautiful !!!

Hello, in this photo - very similar - the date is pointed as 1958. So this one should be from the same day/year. collections.nlm.nih.gov/catalog/nlm:nlmuid-101445580-img

Percy Chapman: ‘The most delightful gentleman and an ideal captain’ – Almanack As a tall, polished left-handed batsman who, excelling in the off-drive and leg-side strokes, was generally willing and able to attack the bowling, he scored 16,309 runs, average 31.97, in a first-class career dating from 1920 to 1939. Of his 27 centuries, the highest and certainly one of the best was 260 for Kent against Lancashire, that season’s Champions, at Maidstone in 1927. The position when he went in was far from encouraging, half the side being out for 70 runs. Yet he and GB Legge (101) assailed an attack including such men as EA McDonald, the Australian fast bowler, Richard Tyldesley and FM Sibbles with such vigour that in two and a half hours they put on 284 runs. Born at Reading, Berkshire, he was in the Uppingham eleven for four years from 1916 to 1919, being captain in the last two, and soon attracted attention with splendid performances. Tributes to Percy Chapman Jack Hobbs I well remember the surprise caused by the appointment of Percy Chapman as the England captain for the final Test against Australia at The Oval in 1926. He was only 25 and all the team liked him. He was not a disciplinarian like his predecessors and he did not hesitate to seek advice. He often talked to me about tactics on the field and he set a great example with his brilliant catching in the slips. The Australian crowds loved him during the tour of 1928/29 when he made us a happy team. Billy Griffith I will always remember him for his debonair and aggressive approach to the game and as a great fielder. George Duckworth He was the most delightful gentleman and an ideal captain. He had such a persuasive charm as a leader that you could not help trying your utmost for him. Source: wisden.com/almanack/percy-chapman-the-most-delightful-gen...
