I have no idea what lurks in this gigantic jar. This was in a side room of the Museum fur Naturkunde in Berlin, which is currently undergoing refurbishment and closed to the public. There were no other specimens there, only dusty empty metal shelves.

Loaded with patriotism and pathos. A sentimental art CDV from the Civil War entitled "War News." It shows a mother and her children, one of whom is looking at a newspaper with the headline "EXTRA" at the top. On the piano is the sheet music for "Home, Sweet Home." On the wall is a picture of the husband and father wearing an officer's uniform and who presumably must be away in the war. Outside the window is a building flying an American flag from the roof.
The family portrayed in this sentimental picture entitled "War News" represents the thousands of women and children left behind on the home front during the American Civil War. In the painting reproduced as a CDV an anxious wife and her child examine a newspaper for word of an absent soldier husband whose portrait hangs prominently on the wall. Sentimental and patriotic themes are evident in the sheet music for "Home Sweet Home" on the piano and the US flag flying over the building seen outside the window. CDV by Selby & McCauley, Photograph Album & Carte de Visite Depot, Baltimore.
