🦁 Magazin des Thierreichs Erlangen: Wolfgang Walther, 1793-1795. Original source Image description: Historical scientific illustration titled “Magazin des Thierreichs” (1793-1795) showing detailed black and white drawings of two views of an octopus labeled “Sepia rugosa” and a lizard labeled “Lacerta exanthematic”. The octopus is depicted with eight long, curling tentacles with suction cups visible. One view shows the octopus from above, the other from below. The lizard is shown in profile, with a slender body, long tail, and distinct head and limbs. The illustration includes small letters marking anatomical parts. Despite the savanna keyword, the subjects are marine and terrestrial animals highlighting scientific study rather than habitat.

📜 New illustration of the sexual system of Carolus von Linnaeus. London: 1807.. Original source Image description: Historical illustration titled “The Persian Cyclamen” from 1807, showing a detailed botanical painting of Cyclamen plants with heart-shaped dark green leaves featuring lighter green centers and slender red stems. The plants bear elegant white flowers with pointed petals and pink bases. The foreground focuses on the plant’s foliage and blossoms, while the background depicts a distant mountainous landscape with an architectural structure and trees under a softly colored sky, framed partially by a tree trunk on the right. The image reflects the Linnaean system of plant classification with precise naturalistic detail.

Her name was Nowadluk. Here’s what the University of Washington Library writes about her:
“Nowadluk Alice Stanley (1883-between 1926-1930) was born in Kingegan in 1883. Her mother was Nevenwok (1866-unknown) and her father was Tulikpak (Tuulikpiaq) (dates unknown). Her younger brother was Harry Karmon (1887-1939), a reindeer herder. Nowadluk “Alice” and her cousin Nowadluk “Nora” attended school and worked for the educators Ellen and W. T. Lopp. Ellen Lopp gave the cousins the names Alice and Nora, because they shared the same Inupiaq name. Nowadluk worked for the Lopps from about 1894-1900. In August 1900, in a double wedding with her cousin, Nowadluk married Stanley Kivyearzruk (1879-late 1940s), a successful reindeer herder.” [source]
Here’s a picture of Nowadluk “Alice” on the left, and her cousin Nowadluk “Nora” on the right. [source]
Nowadluk “Nora” was frequently photographed as the “Eskimo Belle” by commercial photographers, and died in the 1918 pandemic in Kingegan, along with her parents, her brother James Keok, four of his children, her brother-in-law Adlooat and his baby.

Thanks for adding correct info! I scanned this from an Encyclopaedia and just copied the text given for the picture.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
