The London Underground (also known as the Tube or simply the Underground) is a public rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and parts of the home counties of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. <br/><br/> The system serves 270 stations and has 402 kilometres (250 mi) of track, 52% of which is above ground. The network is considered the oldest rapid transit system, incorporating the world's first underground railway, the Metropolitan Railway, which opened in 1863 and is now part of the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines; and the first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in 1890, now part of the Northern line.
A caricature of Horace Greeley, commenting upon (or perhaps anticipating) his disappearance from public life after his defeat in the November 5 presidential election. Journalist Henry Morton Stanley, famous for finding David Livingstone in East Africa in 1871, here discovers Horace Greeley in a jungle. <br/><br/> Stanley holds a rifle and is accompanied by an African youth guiding a dog. Greeley is shown embracing a pig, with a copy of the New York 'Tribune' at his side. In a tree behind him a monkey plays with Greeley's trademark white hat, while another reaches for a coconut. The U.S. Capitol shines brightly in the distance.
The Nuremberg Chronicle is an illustrated world history. Its structure follows the story of human history as related in the Bible; it includes the histories of a number of important Western cities. Written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel, with a version in German translation by Georg Alt, it appeared in 1493. It is one of the best-documented early printed books - an incunabulum (printed, not hand-written) - and one of the first to successfully integrate illustrations and text.
