Michael Bryan (art Historian)
Michael Bryan (9 April 1757 – 21 March 1821) was an English art historian, art dealer and connoisseur. He was involved in the purchase and resale of the great French Orleans collection of art selling it on to a British syndicate, and owned a fashionable art gallery in Saville Row, London. His book, "Biographical and Critical Dictionary of Painters and Engravers", was a standard reference work throughout the 19th century, and was last republished in 1920; however it is now badly outdated.

“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
