The Man In The Iron Mask

This photo intrigued me and I spent many hours searching for information.
I recently heard a BBC trailer for a History programme which would reveal much about the man behind the mask. Unfortunately I was unable to listen but was able to catch up later via the BBC web. I discovered a fascinating Edwardian tale of gambling and debt.
For more information on this Edwardian Gentleman who to settle a bet undertook to walk around the world without being recognised click here
