More than 100 likenesses-captured mostly by unheralded studio photographers-range from the mid-19th century to the present, from Sun Yat-sen to Sibelius, from Gandhi to Garbo. They command attention for their uniqueness (Matisse on a horse), their rarity (a signed James Joyce) or their campy looniness (a bare-bottomed Mata Hari). All come from the collection...

Ingrid's Swedish husband, Fetter Lindstrom, a brain surgeon, persuaded her to smooth her frown, lay office cream and the fourth martini. He also advised her to emulate Garbo by keeping her garrulous mouth shut. On a movie set she stood up to directors; in real life she was easily led. Someone even had to tell her to abandon her marriage. Combat Photographer Robert Capa, whom she met in Paris after the war, tried. They loved each other, but he was not the marrying sort...
