Robert Fulton's Birthplace. This drawing depicts the little farmhouse as it probably appeared in March 1766 when Robert Fulton was but four months of age.
Picture of a page out of unknown book. Description of the picture on page 1985 is as follows:
"Rural couple from Appenzell-Ausserrboden in their parlor.The woman has an embroidery frame in her hand. Water-color by Joseph Reinhardt (1749-1829) for the copperplate series of the "Collection de Costumes Suisse," Basle, Birmann &Huber, 1839. Print Room Basle."
Water color rendering of a still submitted to the United States Patent Office by J. Weitzel in 1834. The alcohol should have been very tasty after it passed through all the pipes and coils. Courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Illgenfritz. A little note on the side says "shouldn't have "tasted" at all!"
