Edward Beale Mclean and his wife, Evalyn Walsh McLean and her poodle in 1912. The poodle would wear the Hope Diamond on her collar at dinner parties. The terrier (far left) was not amused.
Edward bankrupted The Washington Post and ended up in an insane asylum. At one point Evalyn had to park the Hope Diamond in a pawn shop to raise cash and avoid eviction.
