Can somebody help find a photo for me?

The picture linked below is a drawing of a bust of Baron Munchausen.

http://www.lemur.com/dore-munchausen.html

I have once or twice before seen photos of a real ife bust of him, identical to this drawing. On the net, I did manage to find a small picture of it, but then lost the url.

Would it be possible for anyone, during their aimless net wanderings, to please see if they can find a photo of the actual Baron Munchausen bust? I would prefer a larger sized picture if at all possible.

I have no real plans regarding the picture. It is just something that interests me.

Nope.

That is why I am asking for assistance.

I looked for hours last night without success.

The force won't help you at either Baron Munchausen bust or Baron Munchausen
So that leaves Baron or Munchausen, oh boy ...

No luck here. Not even when I added the extra "h", as in Munchhausen. Nothing but books.

I couldn't find a photo neither, but maybe this will help you a little: His original name was "Baron Münchhausen", notice the "ü" instead of the "u". You will probably find more pictures of him using the "ü", too.

Btw.: I loved the book!

As for the people at your work, they are stupid as usual.
