I have always been intrigued by Oscar Wilde.
Not because he was gay, but because he was interesting.
He’s wearing his famous “bottle green” coat in this photo. Oscar had style.
He visited America in 1882 and headed out to the Wild West.
Interestingly, he was well-received by the miners in Denver,
but treated badly by the sophisticates of New York. Go figure.
