The Henry head gets one brief mention, and not by name. It was nice to come here on Tiki Central and discover what he looks like. The essay is full of interesting trivia - i.e., the statue of David breaks at the same place (above the knee) whenever there is an earthquake ... and the same thing happens to other similar David statues located in 5 nearby cemetaries.
