On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

'Irises and Tulips', 1935, Sir Cedric Morris, private collection. I'm curious why he didn't name it after the star of the show, the gorgeous yellow imperial fritillary.

The remarkable bronze horses crafted by the esteemed ancient Greek sculptor Lysippos hail from the island of Chios. Historical records from 8th or 9th Century reference these artifacts, which were appropriated by Venetian forces during the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and
