A bust of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, as seen at the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The count was given a large grant from the King of Wurttemberg to build his original zeppelins. Many people thought he was crazy until his creations were the toast of the world. Then they thought he was a genius.
