There is a clue in an English nursery rhyme (Jack and Jill) where Jack 'went to bed to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper'). What seems amazing today is the wealth that was acquired by the Wislins through sheer quackery!<BR/><BR/>ShutterUpshutterbug - Thank you and thanks for commenting.

Jumping to wild conclusions again from limited clues, I can imagine that they were friends and worked on the house design together. With Wislin being an artist (apparently producing small-scale impressionist influenced paintings though I didn't manage to find a picture of any), and with the W incorporated into the design, we can Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-35261333795043287892008-12-12T16:00:00.000+01:002008-12-12T16:00:00.000+01:00J'ai du mal à saisir qui est ce Wislin : l'archite...J'ai du mal à saisir qui est ce Wislin : l'architecte ou la personne qui a fait construire et a habité la maison. <BR/>Il y a aussi une occasion où les intiales sonrt affichées : lors des enterrements.
