Children's Room - Mauretania

from North East Museums

  What really IS unusual is that the base of the rocking horse is not ''complete''..normally the base of this type of rocking horse, {Marqua stand or Swing stand} has a cruciform shape, with cross pieces to give stability. I wonder if the horse was moved from it's usual place for the photograph, and there looks like a bolt is visible at the ends of the stand for it to be firmly bolted down while the ship was in motion. This would mean cross pieces were not needed{?}

Washington crossing the Delaware.

  This picture always reminds me of a joke I read in the NY Herald Tribune years ago. Q: How can you tell if George Washington was in the army or navy? A: He stood up in a boat so he had to be in the army!

• witty name said:

  I just read an article that recreates this more accurately, saying that they wouldn't have used a boat, but a raft tied to cables, due to the transport of animals and cannons. It was also very foggy and George would have been sitting.
