the Coronation Egg and carriage




Carl Faberge devoted this egg to the important event in the history of the dynasty of Russia - the coronation of Nicholas II. Nicholas II presented it to his wife. The egg’s shell resembles the cloth of gold mantels, which Nicholas and Alexandra wore during the coronation. The egg's surprise is a copy of the coronation carriage used by the Romanovs during the 18th century; it is rendered in incredible detail, down to the coach seats and spring

Tin Tin and Snowy's guide to WW2 aircraft, 17 selected pieces from a gallery of 5 dozen


A series of drawings of planes during the Second World War, made in the 50s by the artist Hergé (real name - Georges Prosper Remi, known as the author of the comic book "The Adventures of Tintin")

if you want to know what plane it is, and few are not well known, go to the link at the bottom of this gallery, each plane is labeled there. I figure most of you already know them all, I've posted so many WW2 planes in the last 2 years.
