Description: Advertises one of several sets of skeletal remains of large, New World creatures exhumed by this German-born scientist- showman, who made a living exhibiting his finds for a fee and selling them to museums after their immediate popular appeal had diminished. This particular skeleton, which Richard Owen argued was a species of Mastodon when Koch brought it to London for exhibit, was sold to the British Museum in 1844.; Includes illustration of a man standing beneath a fossil skeleton, with another man riding an elephant next to it.
Creator: Koch, Albert C.

Identifier(s): text:64; APSimg1717; Goodman Number: 210; 973 C683 No. 279
Description: Rembrandt and Rubens Peale, sons of Charles Willson Peale, noted Philadelphia artist and museum proprietor, took one of two skeletons which they and their father had exhumed in New York (see broadside #583) for a European exhibition tour lasting a little over one year (1802-03). In an effort to obtain the funds necessary for their trip across the Atlantic, the two brothers first exhibited the fossilized creature in New York, an exhibit for which this broadside was issued.
