Far from the colorful pag-

Park. in fact-reposes the
largest private collection of
bullfghting pictures in the
world.
At least. it's collector, Senior
Don Fernando Berckemeyer,
Peruvian Ambassador to the
United States, who himself
resembles the Bourbon kings
of Spain, has every reason to
believe it's the largest. One
can't be in the business of gar
nering the finest known pic
lures about one subject for 80
years, and not find out who
else is in the same market.
The Count of Colombo Of
Madrid has a wonderful COL
lection, says the. Ambassador,
but he has fewer pictorial
items, as he has gone in for
everything from stuffed heads
of famous bulls to clothes worn
by great matadors.
Don Fernando's bullfighting
tastes are not SO animal. He
doesn't deny, even to q chick
enhearted woman who's al
ways roofing for the tortured
bull, that he likes bullf1ghting.
But I don't consider myself
