Nathaniel Olds, Jeptha Homer Wade , 1837, Cleveland Museum of Art: American Painting and Sculpture
The green-tinted spectacles worn by Olds were designed to protect the eyes from the intensity of Argand lamps, a type of indoor light used during the early 1800s. These lamps burned whale oil, and many people worried that its bright flames might damage eyesight.The painter of this portrait founded the Western Union Telegraph Company in 1854 and soon became one of Cleveland’s wealthiest industrialists. His grandson, Jeptha Wade II, was a founder of the Cleveland Museum of Art and donated the land upon which it stands as a Christmas gift to the city in 1892.

i will evolve body part and use charm and pose. i would fight enemy species all night while eating a fruit with my pack. i'll have algae every day that's worth 5 evolution points. i would play flute and drum every tribal stage. i am also more likely to unlock new parts, meet flying saucer, and the fish that kills you if you swim too far into the water.
