Things look even worse in 1916: “The fishing boats were often raided by the German destroyers, as that fish became more scarce & dearer...The price of fish has become so high that for the first time we had only one fish course.”
So ends our #NHEphemera series! #Ephemera
“After more than 10 months of War, there is no reduction in food & no increase in prices. But the German ‘Hocks’ gave out and the French White wines were substituted on May 12th 1915.” GSL Dining Club menu (and annotations from the Treasurer!) from 1915 #Ephemera #NHEphemera

We've saved this final #NHEphemera Tweet for you as we all agree this is the weirdest ephemera in our collection. I know we've veered away from paper items, but this is too good not to share! This is an ostrich egg with a map of @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo painted on it.

For our last #NHEphemera here is perhaps our favourite: A cut out and dress up doll of #Linnaeus together with bunch of flowers and vasculum. Thanks @NHM_Library for this fun project which allowed us to research and discover our #Ephemera collections!
1828 view of early London Zoo shows the llama house, the round aviary & a paddock for aquatic birds. A bear is climbing out of the bear pit by the dens at the end of the central walk & monkeys are visible on the monkey-poles to the extreme left #NHEphemera https://t.co/YBkdiYEc9o
Our penultimate #NHEphemera is this 1846 prospectus for the 'Georama: or the World at one View', detailing a plan to build a larger version of the popular Parisian Georama. Viewers stood inside a large hollow sphere to see the geography of the world around them. #ephemera
As we near the end of our #NHEphemera Tweets, we wanted to share some library specific ephemera with you. This set of bookmarks was created especially to help raise awareness of ZSL Library #zoophemera.
