Guy Knowles and the Ascent of K2

Guy is the one on the bottom right with a tie and suspenders.  Aleister Crowley (yes, that Aleister Crowley), is the one who needs a haircut.

In 1905 Guy and the son of the French painter Legros designed a car named the Iris, which was first made in Willesden, London.  It was made until 1915.  Only one survives - but it's an absolute beauty.
