The picture was included as a poster in the UK release the Jazz Album (1978). Afterwards, Queen was ordered by the renter to pay for 65 new bicycle seats because, it was claimed, the bikes had been used “inappropriately” during the shoot.

When the rhino died shortly after arrival, Albrecht Durer in Nuremberg drew this image from a brief sketch and description included in a letter from Lisbon. He never saw the animal either alive or dead. The image was widely circulated throughout Europe as a woodcut print. Durer gave it many of the armour pieces worn by contemporary German knights, but surprisingly not unlike the Indian rhinoceros of the time.

The island is about 15 kilometres north-east of Coffs Harbour and the lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower 20 metres high (66 feet) which was finished in 1880. For a large part of its life the light was powered by kerosene, then in August 1975 it was converted to 12 volt solar power, still managing an output of 38,000 candela. At night, it flashes a white light every 5 seconds. Source: southsolitaryisland.com.auDesign plans for the construction of South Solitary Island Lighthouse, from 1878. It includes a spiral cast-iron staircase and a store room at ground level. Source: pinterest.comSource: Reblogged from cavemanfeet.tumblr.com.
