In 1741, an enterprising Dutch sea captain transported a young, female Indian rhinoceros from Assam to Europe where she was displayed before everyone from peasants to princes. In an age before railways and modern roads, the three-ton Clara traveled in an enormous coach drawn by eight horses. She journeyed across mainland Europe and Britain for 17 years, becoming a favorite of Frederick the Great and Louis XV. She modeled for scientific portraits and etchings; she inspired poems, songs, and fashions; and she was duly immortalized in everything from tin coins to the finest porcelain. Awarded the prestigious Institute of Historical Research Prize, Glynis Ridley's sparkling history brings Clara's tragicomic story vividly to life. Clara's Grand Tour is also a portrait of an era that saw the rhinoceros as both an object of marvel and a challenge to fundamental philosophical and theological beliefs.

The quality of my foam with this this is amazing! I even use it in stuff that already has ice in it and it breaks up my ice ! The charge lasts awhile . Great value for your money . I’ve bought multiple frothers off amazon and this is the only one that’s held up this long .

Poweful!
Color: Black
Very powerful! I'd gotten too accustomed to my old one with just a single metal spiral roll and so BOY, is this powerful! I'd also gotten accustomed to the on button being just an impulse button and not a solid "ON" so the first time I used it, I had coffee everywhere. I learned quickly to turn it on and then off right away. I do love how is recharges via USB port. Also the directions are helpful because the actual frothing bar was harder to push all the way into the body of it than I'd anticipated.
