Only one quagga was ever photographed, a female at the London Zoo in 1870. In the wild, the quagga was found in great numbers in South Africa. However, the quagga was hunted to extinction for meat, hides, and to preserve feed for domesticated animals. The last wild quagga was shot and killed in the 1870s, and the last one held in captivity died in August of 1883.

The largest carnivorous marsupial in modern times (standing about 2 feet tall and 6 feet long, including the tail), the thylacine once lived in mainland Australia and New Guinea. By the time of European settlement it was already nearly extinct due to human activity. In Tasmania (which provided the tiger the more common names of Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf) it lived on, with the last confirmed animal killed in the wild in 1930

One of only two photos that exist of the US Supreme Court in session, photographer Erich Salomon pretended to have a broken arm and hid a camera in his cast to take this image. It is illegal for cameras to be in the courtroom while the US Supreme Court is in session. This was taken in 1932 during the Hughes Court. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes is in the center of the photo.

This winged-bull, known as a lamassu from textual sources, was given to the Ol by the Department of Antiquities in Iraq. The Assyrian sculpture was discovered in northern Iraq when archaeologists from the Ol, including Edward Chiera, were excavating at Khorsabad (Dur-Sharrukin) in 1929. It originally guarded the throne room of Sargon II, King of Assyria (721-705 BC).

The lamassu is a mythological hybrid, a protective deity known to “turn back an evil person,” that is composed of the head of a human, the body of a bull, and the wings of a bird. These figures are depicted in the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the textual sources for the iconography of these figures.

The Ol’s lamassu has five legs, which was typical for those created during Sargon II’s reign. This “double-aspect” causes the figure to appear to be standing or walking when viewed either from the front or the side, respectively. This winged-bull is almost five meters (16 feet) tall and weighs approximately 40 tons.

The large sculpture fragments that were excavated at Khorsabad were packed in crates and transported to Chicago, where they were brought into the Ol Museum through the wall of the gallery as it was being built in 1930. It was then restored and assembled on the same spot. Its massiveness required the floor to be reinforced and the building to be built around it, which ensures that the Ol’s lamassu will never be moved to another spot in the museum or loaned to another institution.

Imagine a time when men and women had to ride the Staten Island Ferry separately.

As late as the 1930s, some ferries had separate men’s and women’s cabins on the lower level. They were able to mingle in the saloon on the upper deck. The reason was to provide men with an area to smoke that wouldn’t bother women and to prevent single ladies from being harassed by manspreaders. Prior to the automobile, people crossed the bay with their horses and farm animals.
