Clip from the New York Herald from November 26, 1918 - 15 days after the Armistice, with a satirical poem. The cartoon depicts Kaiser Wilhelm II (who fled to the Netherlands), and a monster (the German military) being directed to Hell by Satan. The poem refers to “Huns,” which was an common epithet for Germans. More forthcoming! Enjoy!
ca. 1850s, [stereodaguerreotype portrait of a young lady, by W.L. Germon, housed in a case by John Stull of Philadelphia]
Unlike the more common Mascher case, Stull's design has lenses integrated into the cover and folding hinges allowing the viewer to adjust the focus. Portrait is under a mat stamped W.L. Germon, for Washington Lafayett Germon, a photographer active in Philadelphia 1848-1860, who also worked as an artist, engraver, and druggist during the same period. There is no record of John Stull as a photographer, so it is not surprising to see the actual image done by Germon, whose studio was listed at 168 Chestnut in 1856, just four blocks east of the address on Stull's case.
