Someone must have a portrait of Alex. I in his youngher years. All those above show his receeding hairline.
I'm not sure I'd call him good looking but he did pose a handsome fiqure and was very pleasant to look upon....
I understand he gave his lady friends a gemstone that would turn color if he found them pleaslng. Added to this was: The warmer the heart, the better the color.
Now, I'm going to have go did up that data and find the name of the stone, which I think became known with his name attached... Alexandrite
If I remember correctly, Elizabeth, his wife, loved him but it wasn't in love with her until shortly before his death/disaperance and they had only a short period of time in this marital bliss....
I have a couple of old books and will go and see if I can't find a portrait of him in his earlier years.
