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.
