    From the Wikipedia: Robert Collier (April 19, 1885 – 1950) was an author of self help, and New Thought metaphysical books in the 20th century. Collier was born in St. Louis, Missouri on April 19, 1885. He was the nephew of Peter Fenelon Collier, founder of Collier's Weekly. He was involved in writing, editing, and research for most of his life. His book, The Secret of the Ages, sold over 300,000 copies during his life. Collier wrote about the practical psychology of abundance, desire, faith, visualization, confident action, and becoming your best. Robert Collier Publications, Inc., still exists through the efforts of his widow and now his children and grandchildren and now even his great grandchildren. Collier's Books have recently been brought back to prominence from being referenced in the popular metaphysical movie The Secret. Moreover, Robert Collier's books have been popular with self help and New thought. After overcoming an illness he became facinated with the power of the mind and how to use it to create success in every area.

    It would still profit a person to read any of his fine books!

    What a wonderful portrait. I love the pensive stance.
