I didn’t participate in this game so I’m not entitled to a guess, but I think I know the surname EH is referring to - not the first name though. I’ll try to play in the next game when it starts. ---

The name I was thinking of in the last game was Rimmel, but on researching this I see that company was founded sometime earlier, and by a chap - Eugene Rimmel. Well played, PP. IQ: Were you an artist whose name seems to say a certain country consists of smoked pork? IQ: Were you the grandson of a psychologist, who was a British politician and raconteur? IQ: Were you one of the first TV chefs? ---

Yes indeed, France is bacon. The others were Clement Freud (grandson of Sigmund, brother of artist Lucian) and Fanny Craddock. Sorry, a bit Brit-centric there - perhaps not as famous as Botticelli in the States. DQ: Died after 1900? DQ: American? IQ: Did you have a hit with ‘Davy Crockett’? IQ: Did you choose a name that you thought would be “nicely inconspicuous”? IQ: Did you get so frustrated at being rebuffed in an attempt to purchase another company in your industry that you ordered a project to build a product specifically to beat that other company’s product? ---
