Picture is a commemorative plaque to Count Istvan Szechenyi de Sarvar-Felsovidek, a Hungarian politician, political theorist, and writer. Widely considered one of the greatest statesmen in his nation`s history, within Hungary he is still known to many as `the Greatest Hungarian`. He wanted to develop Buda and Pest as a major political, economic and cultural center of Hungary. He supported the construction of the first permanent bridge between the two cities, the Chain Bridge. Besides its improving transportation connections, the Chain Bridge was a symbolic structure, foreshadowing the later unification of the two cities as Budapest, connected across rather than divided by the river. He suffered from depression in his later years and committed suicide by gunshot to the head at age 68, in 1860.
