Depicts equestrian statue of King John V of Portugal, rev group of standing female figures indicate towards the figure on the left, who holds a plan and a set square.

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon Earthquake, took place on November 1, 1755 at 9:40 in the morning. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and fire, which caused near-total destruction of Lisbon and adjoining areas. Geologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake approached magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, with an epicenter in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 km (120 mi) west-southwest of Cape St. Vincent. Estimates place the death toll between 60,000 to 100,000 people, making it one of the most destructive earthquakes in history.

The earthquake accentuated political tensions in Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country's eighteenth-century colonial ambitions. The event was widely discussed and dwelt upon by European Enlightenment philosophers, and inspired major developments in theodicy and in the philosophy of the sublime. As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area, it led to the birth of modern seismology.

28536 Turkey Greek War Medal 1897 Ottoman Empire Silver AU 104.99
Silver, holed as issued, aprox 25mm across.

This medal was awarded for the 30 day war with Greece in 1897. After Greece had come within a breath of invading Crete, prevented only by mediation from the Western powers, groups of militant Greeks went to Crete to fight a guerilla war against the Turkish government there. At the same time, another Greek army led by Prince Constantine of Greece invaded Turkish territory near Ioannina. This gave the Sultan ample justification for a declaration of war, and a Turkish force from Monastir pushed the Greek force back into Thessaly, where it routed a Greek counterattack and advanced to the Gulf of Volo before the Greeks could put up an adequate defense. At this point the Western powers intervened. The Turks withdrew in exchange for monetary compensation, and were allowed to repatriate some Turkish refugees. The outcome of the campaign served to bolster Abdulhamid's prestige among Ottoman subjects, forestalling the reform movement of the Young Turks. The medal of the Greek war is silver, 24 mm. diameter, worn from a ribbon of four red and three green stripes of equal width. The obverse bears the tughra of Abdulhamid II, surrounded by a laurel wreath, with a distinctive feature: a rose at the bottom of the wreath. The reverse bears the inscription "Greek War Day - Sunday, 23rd of Zildake (11th month of the Hejira calendar), 1314".

The Turner movement was a German gymnastic movement started by Turnvater (turners' father) Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in the early 19th century when Germany was occupied by Napoleon. The Turnvereine ("gymnastic unions") were not only athletic, but also political, reflecting their origin in similar "nationalistic gymnastic" organizations in Europe. After the failed Revolution of 1848, many Turners left Germany, some of whom were politicians and soldiers known as Forty-Eighters. Eventually the German movement was involved in in the process leading to German unification. This equipment was brought to the U.S. by his followers.

A New Year's medal from Mayer Wilhelm of Stuttgart - the manufacturer of medals in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th century. A neat genre and a good cross section of the early 20th century medallic art. Nice image, a child literally "kicking off" the year. Mayer Wilhelm, as a maker of medals made these as presentation pieces to clients, as promotional pieces for potential clients, and no doubt sold them publicly as gift and collector's pieces.

The striking of New Year's medals for presentation and gifts has a long history but has always been particularly popular in Germany and Austria. They are a fascinating genre of collecting with a lot of interesting imagry like Father Time, Janus. Beginning around the turn of the century with the renewed interest in medallic art among the expanding middle class, New Year's medals made a comeback with firms like Mayer Wilhelm in Stuttgart and Bruder Schneider in Vienna.
