Unknown, Salvador Dalí with a Lobster on his Head, 1954

Remembering the inimitable Surrealist Salvador Dalí, born on this day in 1904. The madcap creative had a fondness for creatures of all kinds (he had a pet ocelot named Babou and once borrowed two anteaters from a Paris zoo to accompany him on a stroll around the French capital). A man besotted with the oneiric, he also boasted a penchant for suitably strange headwear: you can find pictures of him sporting everything from loaves of bread to skulls to rhino-horn hats atop his head. This image, taken in Cadaqués in Spain in 1954, finds him combining his passions, donning a lobster as a short-term sun hat.
