Grumman captured in implausibly romantic fashion (in that he is depicted outside his study and not by a roaring fire with scotch in hand, as was his habit) by Birgit von Sachsen-Rampton
Winthrop Grumman (b. 1896, Dingwall, Nova Scotia d. 1956, Suez, Egypt) was a dilettante, adventurer, polar explorer and literary critic, in the last of which pursuits he was especially fond of disparaging the pedestrian works of Austrian librettist Otto Büchstein.
