LaGrange & Jordan, [1877]); an ad card to “Belmont’s Big Show! Musee of Anatomy”; and three display panels of genital diseases by Michael Schliesser who was employed by the Hagenbeck circus in Germany and a taxidermist for the New York Museum of Natural History, stamped “Michael Schliesser/Taxidermist.” Good.
