Zoology Print of Jellyfish, Corals and Marine Invertebrates by T Bromme c1865 This exceptional hand-colored lithograph, printed circa 1865 by German geographer and educator Traugott Bromme, illustrates a diverse selection of cnidarians and lower marine invertebrates. The plate is taken from Bromme’s influential *Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit*, which served as both an educational tool and a visual record of 19th-century scientific understanding. The composition prominently features several jellyfish species (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), each drawn in exquisite detail to showcase their translucent bodies, flowing tentacles, and umbrella-like bells. One species (1) resembles a comb jelly or ctenophore, with internal rows of cilia and trailing appendages, hinting at the era’s growing knowledge of deep-sea life. Equally striking are the representations of corals and polyp colonies. A large central brain coral (10) is surrounded by branching and staghorn coral species (9, 11), red coral (12), and coral polyps (7, 8), including both individual and colonial organisms. Small-scale illustrations of microscopic life (15–19) suggest zooplankton, sponges, or protists, rendered with the precision of early microscopy. Bromme’s work was aimed at making natural science accessible and visually compelling. The accuracy and artistic quality of this lithograph make it especially desirable for collectors of marine biology and antique scientific illustration...

M4 US Government Army Issue World War II, vintage 1941-1942 Horse Gas Masks are very scarce. Due to the large size, most were discarded after the war. Occasionally, one will pop up, but most are incomplete or in poor condition. The M4 Horse Gas Mask has 2 large filter canisters, one placed on each shoulder of the horse. It has a chest mounted pack, and a rubber mask for the horse's muzzle. Flexible hoses run between the components, and leather straps keep everything secure to the horse. Horses (Cavalry) and Pack Mules were not as common in WWII as they were in WWI, making the Horse Gas Mask all the more rare. If you are a serious gas mask collector, consider the chance of finding another M4 Horse gas mask. Included is the signed canvas...
