Its forerunner under the name Golden Eagle was founded in the 17th century, 1623. Its contemporary furniture was prepared in the 1880s. Its facade is decorated with a majolica manufactured in the Zsolnay factory in Pécs.
A gyógyszertárat 1623-ban alapította Pralich Péter és a Várkerület 31. szám alatt működött Arany Sas Patika néven. Néhány év múlva, 1635-ben kapta az Oroszlán nevet. Jelenlegi helyére, a Várkerület 29.sz alá 1724-ben került. A patika egyedülállóan érdekes és szép majolika portálja a pécsi Zsolnay kerámiagyárban készült.
An early forerunner of the encyclopedia, De Proprietatibus Rerum dates from the 13th century and is often described as a bestiary although its focus encompasses theology and astrology as well as the natural sciences (as understood in 1240).

Marblehead Harbor is a harbor located in Marblehead, Massachusetts, 17 miles northeast of Boston. It is considered the birthplace of the Continental Navy, forerunner of the United States Navy, and of United States Marine Corps Aviation.
Marblehead Harbor is located to the east of the town's center. To the south is an isthmus that connects the town to Marblehead Neck, which is located on the eastern side of the harbor. The harbor is home to many yachts and also a fishing community, which has increased over the years. There are 2,000 moorings and the harbor contains 14.2 miles of tidal coastline.[1] For a number of years, the Burgess Company was located along the shores of the harbor.[2] Fort Sewall is also located along the northwestern edge of the harbor.
Marblehead Harbor has a distinguished military history as well. It was the home port of the schooner Hannah, the first armed vessel of the Continental Navy,[3] and her original owner and master and most of her crew were from Marblehead. A diary entry by a local sailmaker records her sailing on her first military expedition during the American Revolution, under the command of John Glover; the birth of what was to become the United States Navy.[4] The ship was equipped with cannon and with provisions including the indigenous "Joe Frogger" molasses/sea water cookie. The nautical backgrounds of the crew were instrumental in helping the colonists during various sea campaigns during the course of the war.
On August 20th 1912, Alfred Austell Cunningham became the first Marine aviator, taking off from Marblehead Harbor in a Burgess Model H seaplane given to him by the Burgess Company.[2] His flight began the era of United States Marine Corps Aviation.[2]
In 1915, United States Naval Training Station for Aviation, Marblehead was opened, operating until 1917. The station was the first air station in the state, and trained units from all over the region.[5]

I don't know why there are only 4 names for the back row which makes precise identification impossible but the middle row seems correct as the one on the left, Maple, is my uncle (aged 13). The master on the right is his father, my grandfather.

The history of Vienna's Christmas market
The assumption, forerunners of the Viennese Christmas market had been held for more than 600 years ago, is not true. In the year 1382, to which these assumptions relate, renewed Duke Albrecht III only the market law of the City of Vienna. This allowed, among other things, the holding of fairs, which took place 14 days before and after Christ's ascension, and 14 days before and after St. Kathrein (November 25). These markets, however, were not related with the celebration of Christmas.
In medieval Vienna, there was no Christmas markets. The urban settlements from this period have no income and expenditure in such a context. The invoices from the 17th Century exist only patchy.
Therefore no reliable date can be specified for the first occurrence of Christmas markets. Records from 1600 show that cabins on the trench (Graben) and on the fire place (Brandstätte), ie before Sankt Stephan, on 9 January have been dismantled and on 16 and 17 December re-erected. This market bore the name "Thomas market". In these stalls Peckn (Baker), gingerbread maker and Zuggerpacher (confectioners) offered their goods. These stands were found around Christmas time in the area Graben - Stephansplatz to the year in 1761. Then, this market was closed.
First mentioned in 1722
Already in 1722 found a on Freyung held "St. Nicholas, Christmas and Nativity market" mention. Since at the same time was a regular market there, conflicts between the state holders of the one and the other market in 1842 led to the tentative relocation of Nicholas and Christmas market on the square Am Hof. This relocation was definitely 1843, each time on the 5th December, the 132 cribs market stalls were set up and remained standing until the New Year.

1872 the old Viennese markets were closed by a decision of the council, as they had lost their original meaning in the modern city. The exception was the Christmas Market. 1903, the 128 stands were renewed and received first electric lighting.
First and Second World War
A difficult time for the now regular "Christkindlmarkt" named event began with the First World War. In 1923 it was held again on the Freyung, 1924-1928 modest extent before the Stephansdom. From 1929 on the Neubaugürtel - above the Hesserdenkmals (Monument) - relocated, the Christmas market came 1938 on the Am Hof square back. During the Christmas time of 1943 once again the Stephansplatz was its location. Then the fast to the city approaching and across moving war prevented its holding. At Christmas 1946, a new start on the square before the Trade Fair Palace was attempted.

The Christmas market at the Neubaugürtel (1950 )
1949 the Christmas Market moved back to the Neubaugürtel, where he remained until 1957. Then again held before the Trade Fair Palace, failed in 1963 an attempt to establish the Christkindlmarkt as a counterpart to fasting market in the Kalvarienberggasse in the 17th district. 1975 had to be found an alternative venue because of the construction of the underground car park in front of the Messepalast (trade fair palace). First, temporarily set up at the town hall square, soon the combination of the Christmas market and the "Magic of Advent" in both sides of the adjacent City Hall Park created such a moody atmosphere that this location for years to come seems certain for the Christmas market .

Look familiar? A forerunner of the Republic P-47, the P-35 was the USAAC first production single-seat, all-metal pursuit plane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. Of the 76 P-35s accepted into service, this example, P-35 35-404, on display at the National Museum of the USAF at Dayton is the only known survivor. It served with the 94th Pursuit Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group but is marked as P-35A 41-17449, the plane flown by the 17th Pursuit Squadron commander in the Philippines in the spring of 1941.

1952 ABARTH 1500 BIPOSTO BAT 1
The famous Scaglione Abarth 1500 Biposto (forerunner to the Bertone BAT cars)has long been an iconic design piece – it has featured on many programs including Jay Leno’s Garage and appeared at the Goodwood Festival in 2011 - the 1952 Abarth 1500 Biposto BAT 1 was part of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ enclosure at the Goodwood Festival of Speed – designed by Franco Scaglione and with coachwork by Nuccio Bertone this really is a work of automotive art.
There was only one Abarth 1500 Biposto manufactured, and after it was displayed at the 1952 Torino Auto Show it was purchased by Packard in the United States. It remained hidden for many years before being restored in the UK. In 2010 it appeared at the Concours de Elegance at Pebble Beach where it secured the coveted Gran Turismo Trophy. It has a fascinating story… Designed by Franco Scaglione, Nuccio Bertone and Carlo Abarth as a one-off for the 1952 Turin Motor Show, this Fiat 1500 Abarth appeared on the Fiat stand. Bertone went on to design the BAT 5, 7, and 9 based on Alfa Romeo chassis between 1953 and 1955… and what does B.A.T. stand for? Berlina Aerodinainca Technica. After arriving at Packard’s styling studio it was apparently admired by Richard Austin Smith of Fortune Magazine. Smith created a new slogan and the car was presented to Mr. Smith as ‘compensation’ for his suggested slogan. Fortune management allowed him to keep the car and it remained in his ownership until his death. Move forward a few years and it was discovered as a ‘barn find’ in New England.

The Original chapel of St. Lawrence at Sinquerim, the forerunner of the present church was founded in 1630 by the then viceroy Dom MInguel de Noronha, the fourth Count of Linhares. From its modest beginnings as an ermida(built either in 1630 or 1633), meant for a handful of poor fisher folk, it now became a Church. In 1636 he granted it to the Franciscans a few weeks before leaving Goa at the end of his term. St. Lawrence Church was apart of the Aguada fortress, water reservoir and the lighthouse. It stood as a silent witness to the ups and downs in the political, military and economic history of the Portuguese in India

Portsmouth, VA Portsmouth (Independent City)
In 1798 the United States Congress passed an act creating the Marine Hospital Service, the forerunner of the Public Health Service, and set up a Naval Hospital Fund to be filled by taking twenty cents a month from the pay of every seaman, officer and marine. When plans developed for establishing a marine hospital, the state of Virginia in 1801 offered to supply an appropriate site and in 1826 the city of Norfolk was selected. In 1827 the Commissioners of the Naval Hospital--the Secretaries of War, Navy and Treasury--picked eighteen acres at Fort Nelson, a fortification built during the Revolution to protect Norfolk and later purchased by the federal government in 1800, as the site of the future hospital. Sixty-one acres were purchased to add to the property and John Haviland, well-known Philadelphia architect, was commissioned to draw plans for the new building.
The Naval Hospital has had distinquished service serving those in need. In 1855 when Portsmouth lost one-fifth of its population in a dreadful Yellow Fever epidemic, over 500 civilians were treated at the hospital. In April, 1862, the Confederate government surrounded the building with earthworks and renamed it Fort Nelson. The next year it was occupied by Northern troops and re-established as a federal army hospital. (1)
