"The Kraken supposed a sepia or cuttle-fish from Denys Montfort" - an antique engraved print published by William Jardine in "The Naturalist's Library", in 1833-1843.

Pierre Denys de Montfort (1766–1820) was a French naturalist, in particular a malacologist, remembered today for his pioneering inquiries into the existence of the gigantic octopus Architeuthis. He was inspired by a description from 1783 of an eight-metre long tentacle found in the mouth of a sperm whale. He describes an account of a merchant ship's crew of an attack by a giant sea monster off the coast of Angola: "An enormous cuttle-fish suddenly threw its arms across the vessel, and it was on the pint of dragging it to the bottom, when the continuous efforts of the crew succeeded in cutting off the tentacula with swords and hatchets. During the period of their greatest danger, they invoked the aid of St Thomas, and being successful in freeing themselves from their dreadful opponent, on their return home they went in procession to the chapel (St Thomas chapel at St. Malo, France), and offered up their thanksgivings. They also procured a painter to represent, as accurately as possible, their encounter, and the danger which at the moment threatened the termination of their existence."

Sir William Jardine, 7th Baronet of Applegarth (1800 – 1874) was a Scottish naturalist. Jardine made natural history available to all levels of Victorian society by editing the hugely popular forty volumes of The Naturalist's Library (1833–1843) issued and published by his brother in law, the Edinburgh printer and engraver, William Home Lizars.

Lightweight tinted SPF that looks beautiful on mature skin
I’ve tried a lot of tinted sunscreens, and this one is honestly one of the nicest I’ve used for everyday wear. The Eucerin Tinted Age Defense SPF 50 feels lightweight, blends easily, and gives the skin a healthy natural glow without looking heavy or greasy. The texture is smooth and hydrating, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the tint adapted to my skin tone. It helped even out my complexion while still looking very natural. On mature skin, that is important because many tinted SPFs can settle into fine lines or look dry after a few hours. This one stayed comfortable and looked fresh throughout the day. I also liked that it layered well over skincare and under makeup without pilling. The finish is more radiant than matte, which gives the skin a healthier and less tired appearance. The addition of hyaluronic acid is a nice bonus because the product feels more moisturizing than many sunscreens I’ve tested. The packaging is practical, easy to use, and perfect for daily use or travel. SPF 50 protection combined with skincare benefits makes this a great all in one daytime product. The tint may not work perfectly for every skin tone since it is designed as a universal shade, but on my skin it blended much better than expected. If you’re hesitating between Eucerin and CeraVe, this one is better for mature skin, a more elegant finish, and higher sun protection since this version offers SPF 50 while many tinted CeraVe options only go up to SPF 30. If you specifically want higher daily protection with a natural radiant finish, this one is definitely the better choice for me.

Eucerin for the Win...Again!
I love this tinted sunscreen. It's so lightweight and blends in really well. Since it blends in, it is good for all shades of skin. It doesn't have a strong smell like a lot of other sunscreens have, so that is a huge bonus. So far I'm really loving it. I am definitely a Eucerin girly. I love all things Eucerin at this point.
