Sir Joseph Boehm Ra

Recommended Posts

A real ooo err, hmmm this one.

Interesting item on the Today programme yesterday. It appears that Joseph Boehm who designed the Jubilee head for the 1887 coinage died of a heart attack whilst on the job with Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Louise. She was quite a fair looking woman so there are worse ways to go. Perhaps he was engraving her bust...?

Was Sir Joseph Boehm Ra an illegitimate child of Sun Ra, by the way?
