You would use it once, and then a bit of crab claw would get stuck in there. Yes. It would get salmonella. And the next time you had the crab claw, you would be dead. Oh, its one of these. Its one of these. Yes yes. What do you mean, its one of these . Ive never seen this before in my life. Kay i think its for making holes in roast lamb, for slotting in a garlic clove. Extracting gunk out of your ear. laughing still no answers . No definite answer but a lot of food for thought. Definitely. Bruce and a few weeks later, all became clear. There were lots of letters written in saying, we know what it is. And one of the best was from, i think he was the curator of the collection of the Royal College of surgeons who said, of course, this is what it is. It was actually a tracheotomy instrument and he came with the missing bits. Man and this was used as what is called a pilot, in order to penetrate an incision which is made in the neck when patients were suffocating to death. And this would re
[applause] thank you. That was a wonderful introduction. I started this book back in 2003 so its been a a tenyear odyssey but the seed for this book was actually planted many years earlier. It was back in the mid1970s when i was seven or eight years old. There was a day till i grew up in Westchester County new york a suburb just west of the city and the son of a history buff but unlike a lot of people who make that claim the history buff in my family is not my father. Its my mother and of her four children i seem to be the only one she passed the gene onto.

Now, the first thing is, this was probably decorated not at meissen. It was made at meissen and then almost certainly it was decorated outside. It is an exquisitely painted image. The quality that comes out of meissen is princely. There was something very specific about the color scheme of this plate. If you look closely at it, heres red, black and green. And this is a scheme we associate with one particular painter. And i told her this was almost certainly from the workshops of a man called meyer, who painted in the town of presnitz. Its almost an extraordinary conundrum that in the first phases of a new art within a few years it reaches the height that it never reaches in decades or even centuries afterwards.
