Re: Name that historical figure!
Paleologos,
I think I figured out who he is. If I'm right this is kinda obscure.

Hans Riemer
The guy didn't do much besides be a regional politician, and even then the available sources and photos on him are scarce. If I hadn't had your hints I wouldn't have ever found him.
Just food for thought.

Re: Name that historical figure!
Well, Hans Riemer it is and you are probably right that this is sort of obscure.
I had read a short article about him shortly before it was my turn to post a question and got the impression he was a historically significant/influential political actor.
When I realized that the photo of him that I posted was perhaps the only photo of him in the www it was rather late.
Anyway, you have the ground.

Re: Name that historical figure!
This one should be better known, and has an interesting history once you figure out who he is.

Re: Name that historical figure!
Yes it is, quite an interesting story. Diplomat, human rights activist, Irish revolutionary.

Does this man wear a white collar?

Re: Name that historical figure!
I don't think it's a separate item of clothing, if that's what you mean. He's wearing a surcoat and it looks like the collar is an integral part of it, but I could be wrong.
