My eyes aren't even good enough to notice all the details Erik pointed out.<BR/><BR/>Eric, how lucky you are to see the Natural History museum. Did you see the James Perry Wilson dioramas?James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3924748302751869432009-02-16T13:37:00.000-05:002009-02-16T13:37:00.000-05:00Jim, Can you make the image a little smaller so th...Jim,<BR/><BR/> Can you make the image a little smaller so that I can get a better peek? thanks. ;v)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853491825832197697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-9323812405662138872009-02-16T12:51:00.000-05:002009-02-16T12:51:00.000-05:00Just got back from my first ever visit to NYC and ...Just got back from my first ever visit to NYC and thought of Dinotopia the whole time I was in the Natural History Museum.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375615378259386972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-1440984453633035492009-02-16T06:47:00.000-05:002009-02-16T06:47:00.000-05:00Ah, another opportunity for me to be utterly wrong...Ah, another opportunity for me to be utterly wrong with the hightest possible level of pseudo-logical blah.<BR/><BR/>Let's see...<BR/><BR/>Clothing of the participants is vital of course. Unfortunately the reproduction has very low resolution. But I do see the heardress, a person wearing a tie...<BR/>What about that boy's collar? Looks more like Frans Hals' dutch burgers...<BR/><BR/>Then the lights...<BR/>Oh, look, they even have lights on their table! So it's probably rather recent then...<BR/>But wait, those aren't electrical lights on the tables!? I see glass tubes sticking out! That means oil lights, or at least electrical lamps that still mimick traditional oil lamp design.<BR/>That pushes the date back of course...<BR/>Would only those two strange looking big lights be electrical?<BR/><BR/>I voted for 1901. Still early for electrical lights in common use I think, but this event would have been a hype of course. Something super-modern for the time being.Erik Bongershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409523352634066030noreply@blogger.com
