“The Restaurant of the House of Representatives” Engraving by Harper's Weekly
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This original wood engraving is titled “The Restaurant of the House of Representatives, Washington, DC.” It was published as a double-page image, in the August 12, 1893 issue of the famous 19th century newspaper Harper’s Weekly. The print was illustrated by Charles Stanley Reinhardt.
The House Restaurant, a unique part of life in the Capitol, has been in the same location since the 1857 Capitol Expansion. Congressional members’ busy work schedule made the availability of food on site a necessity. But the restaurant also served as an informal meeting spot for members to continue conversations and deal making.
This 1893 print illustrates the convivial atmosphere. Details including elegantly dressed tables...

Antique Decorative Coloured Map Egypt, Nubia, Abyssinia and more, 1882
Located in Langweer, NL
This image contains two maps, with the left one being labeled "Egypt" and the right one "Nubia, Abyssinia and the Adjacent Lands." These maps highlight the Nile Valley and surrounding regions.
The maps from the Blackie & Son atlas published in 1882 are interesting for several reasons:
1. **Historical Context**: The year 1882 is significant because it falls within the period of European imperial expansion in Africa. It was also just before the British occupation of Egypt, which began that year. Therefore, the maps serve as historical documents showing the geopolitical state of the region just before a major shift in its colonial status.
2. **Cartographic Style**: The maps reflect the cartographic style of the late 19th century, which often featured detailed engravings and fine detail. They provide a snapshot of the cartographic knowledge and aesthetic of the time.
3. **Geographical Knowledge**: These maps were created during a time when much of Africa's interior was still being explored by Europeans. The representation of features like rivers, mountains, and settlements can tell us about the extent of geographical knowledge at the time.
4. **Cultural Representation**: The way the map represents different regions, peoples, and geographical features can give insights into the cultural and political views of the era. It may reflect the European understanding and biases towards these regions.
5. **Educational Purpose**: Blackie & Son were known for their educational materials...

Sterling Silver Native American Indian Motif "Note Holder" American, Circa 1880
Located in Incline Village, NV
Very rare and unusual piece, a sterling silver "note holder" fronted by an Indian Chief on the front in high relief. A bale on top provides for a necklace and hanging as a decorative piece of jewelry. Other decoration on the front includes a tomahawk and a peace pipe criss-crossed beneath the Indian. The back is plain with a decorative "repousse" floral border, and "sterling" clearly marked in the lower left (see image). It is 2 7/8" high x 2" wide resembling and in the style of a match safe; probably manufactured by Unger Bros. of Newark, New Jersey, circa 1880, but difficult to observe all of the surfaces because of the frontal "notes" in permanent place. A note holder would have been used to write down reminders and/or notations by the user; the surfaces appear to be a celluloid type material. Condition is excellent with six notes intact; a very slight "crease" to the back side; hardly noticeable (see image).
