Federal government denies hazard mitigation aid to state after historic December flooding

This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Between Trump’s long-running friction with Washington State leadership and the broader gutting/reshaping of FEMA, expecting meaningful federal help right now is wishful thinking. Denying mitigation funding, basically the money that helps prevent the next disaster, says a lot about priorities.

At this point, Washington needs to plan like we’re largely on our own. Not ideal, but it’s the reality.

[ID Request] Intaglio Engraving “26 Hours” (Pl. 10) – Early Embryology Plate?

Hi All.

I picked this up in Olympia, Washington and I'm trying to identify it. It looks like a hand-pulled intaglio engraving (clear plate mark, rich/velvety ink).

Details:

Pencil notes: “Pl. 10” and “26 Hours”

Thick paper, lightly toned edges, no watermark

The subject appears to be a 26-hour chick embryo cross-section (neural tube, somites, notochord visible)

Theory: Possibly a working proof from an early 20th c. scientific series, maybe Carnegie Institution embryology plates or similar.

Does anyone recognize the plate, style, or handwriting? Looking for the original publication/artist. Any information greatly appreciated!
