About that. "John Bull"? This seditious stoneworker had about a decade left for his Book of Exodus outrage. As an aside, one of the few portraits in a Jewish cemetery in the U.S. is on the grave of Harry Houdini and it is always being defaced. Now there is a plastic one and constant trouble. https://abandonednyc.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/abandonednyc_queens_machpelah-cemetery_houdini_grave-003.jpg?w=750&h=500
