Three Beauties of the Present Day

Three Beauties of the Present Day is a nishiki-e colour woodblock print from c. 1792–93 by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro. The triangular composition depicts the busts of three celebrity beauties of the time: geisha Tomimoto Toyohina, and teahouse waitresses Naniwa Kita and Takashima Hisa. Each figure in the work is adorned with an identifying family crest. The portraits are idealized, and though at first glance their faces seem similar, subtle differences in their features and expressions can be detected. The luxurious print, made with multiple woodblocks, was published by Tsutaya Jūzaburō and is believed to have been quite popular.

Painting: Kitagawa Utamaro

Battle of Jutland

A map of the Battle of Jutland, a naval battle fought by the British Royal Navy's Grand Fleet against the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet during the First World War. The only full-scale clash of battleships in the war, the Germans intended it to lure out, trap and destroy a portion of the Grand Fleet, as the German naval force was insufficient to openly engage the entire British fleet. Fourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk, and more than 8,000 people were killed. Both sides claimed victory, and dispute over the significance of the battle continues to this day.

Map: Grandiose

Ohrentaucher im Prachtkleid

Der Ohrentaucher (Podiceps auritus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Lappentaucher (Podicipedidae). Sein Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich über Nordeuropa, Nordasien und das nördliche Nordamerika. Er ist der einzige Lappentaucher, der auch nördlich des Nördlichen Polarkreises brütet. Im Nordosten Mitteleuropas gibt es einige wenige Brutvorkommen dieser Art. Der Ohrentaucher ist in Mitteleuropa außerdem regelmäßig in kleiner Zahl als Durchzügler und Wintergast zu beobachten. Er trägt dann sein Schlichtkleid, in dem er mit dem in Mitteleuropa häufigeren Schwarzhalstaucher leicht zu verwechseln ist. Ohrentaucher haben eine Körperlänge von 20 bis 22 Zentimetern. Sie sind damit deutlich größer als Zwergtaucher und haben einen weniger gedrungenen Körperbau und einen längeren Hals als diese. Die Männchen sind im Mittel etwas größer als die Weibchen. Bei den Männchen sind die Handflügel zwischen 13,2 und 16,0 Zentimeter lang, der Schnabel misst von der Stirnbefiederung bis zur Spitze zwischen 2,0 und 2,7 Zentimeter und sie wiegen zwischen 320 und 570 Gramm.  – Zum Artikel …
