Thank you for your kind words Tobias, i am pleased to have been fortunate enough to acquire these over the years...and what a great way to share them!

It's dusty here in Tucson, so am facing the daunting biannual job of removing all the specimens from their cases, dusting them off (compressed air works well) and reorganizing, redoing the display and retiring some things to drawers. This may be accompanied by some photo shooting, so perhaps there will be more to share soon.

 Description:
Illustration from "Chonita" a story of the Mexican Mines. Unusual late 1800s missionary publication featuring a hard working boy and his mule whose livlihood is threatened by the avaricious gringo mine owners and lying co-workers. He is finally "rescued" by a Baptist missionary who he helps not knowing that God is on his side. SET IN SANTA EULALIA!!!
