CATALOG ENTRY:
Dr. Herold’s four photographs of a total solar eclipse in 141 A.A. were the very first of their kind.[1] Arguable more notable than that of “Slide 4”,[2] “Slide 1”, contains a powerful symbol of national pride, the floating city-state of Glory, blackened in silhouette.
Although Glory’s official slogan was and remains, “The City of Promise“, following the popularity and mass distribution of “Slide 1”, many began to refer to her by a new moniker; “The City of Eternal Sunshine”.
Next to “Slide 1” is found a portrait of Dr. Herold, the photographer.

Ser. William H.W. Packet was an explorer, naturalist, and captain to grandest expedition of the age of sail, the Aurora Expedition. His wife, Edith Packet, was a philanthropist, writer, and often considered the first female lepidopterist, but by far their greatest legacy is that of the MoKW.Ā
