Good Lord! I have a copy of that picture in an old text book!

My California grammar school was discarding (sacrilege: BURNING!) out-dated texts, back in the 50's, and I "rescued" a few that looked interesting. I was in 6th or 7th grade at the time.

The one that had that picture was a late 1800s/early 1900s "natural science" text. It is still packed away, in one of the many boxes of books.

I've got a few mid 1800's textbooks. They're fascinating and actually entertaining.

My favorite one deals with the history of England and states that since Longshank's son, Edward got in so much trouble with a Spencer, Parliament passed an act that a Spencer can never ascend to the throne. Trouble for William??
