Apollo 10 Command Module – Charlie Brown
“Apollo 10 command module, call sign ‘Charlie Brown’, by North American Rockwell Corporation, Downey, Los Angeles county, California, United States, American, 1969. Apollo 10, carrying astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan, was launched in May 1969 on a lunar orbital mission as the dress rehearsal for the actual Apollo 11 landing. Stafford and Cernan descended in the Lunar Module to within 14 kilometres of the surface of the Moon, the closest approach until Neil Armstrong and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin in Apollo 11 landed on the surface two months later.
The command module was the only part of the Apollo spacecraft to return to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean where the spacecraft and astronauts were recovered by helicopter and aircraft carrier.” – Image description.

17th Century Animal Skeleton Illustrations
The 17th century seemed to be obsessed with skeleton illustrations, and these animals are surely a product of that. They bones seem to be so alive, ironically.

Wealth God Riding Tiger (20th Century)
This is an early 20th century New Years picture depicting the God of Wealth riding on a tiger. The Artist is unknown.
“In Chinese folklore, a deity almost always rides an exotic animal instead of a horse. The mount for Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, is a tiger. He holds a gold ingot, a symbol of wealth, in his left hand and a gnarled cudgel—his signature weapon—in his right hand. Traveling between heaven and earth, he brings good fortune to those who worship him.” – Image Description

This horse skull Chromolithograph is from an unknown artist. A Chromolithograph is a multi-color print made by stamping paper with stone plates covered in ink. Actually, I oversimplified the process a lot – feel free to read more about them at Wikipedia.
