Samuel "Marshmallow" Pepys
Questions of legendary import
The English writer Samuel
Pepys (who lived from 1633-1703, and whose name was pronounced "peeps")
produced a diary that is now much-celebrated.
We at the Annals of Improbable Research have recently come into
possession of an intriguing photograph, which is reproduced here:
Samuel "Marshmallow" Pepys
Is there a relationship between the photo, its subject, and the diarist Samuel Pepys? We know not. Who took the photograph, where, when, under what circumstances -- and above all, why -- are all questions for scholars of English history, of Pepys, of peeps, and of marsh mallow to address.
