I knew the images from a few sources, though I did eventually see the Tower in person. Smithsonian magazine published the Tower as a centerfold. I also had a calendar featuring the artwork & a poster of the Jurassic that said "Mostly Dinosaurs" on the top. Other posters existed.

A reconstruction of a Highland gentleman warrior of the 1680s. A lot more dandy than the popular imagination allows. Note the quality of his musket, and that it lacks a trigger guard. Scots gunsmiths were skilled and had an aversion to trigger guards apparently!
