Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde was a wildly popular Irish poet and playwright, and he was photographed here in 1882. His most famous work was The Picture of Dorian Gray. He was very well-traveled and even gave over 150 lectures to crowds as large as 200,000 people.
King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Romania
The King and Queen of Romania attended a state visit to Dover, England in 1924. The queen married Ferdinand in 1892 and gave up her life in the fields — and it's because of her that Ferdinand allied himself with England against Germany.
