Here is my last hunt of 2022. Thank you all for your support and I hope you've enjoyed my hunts and these little glimpses of forgotten history :-)

First clue of 2023!
Although every line of the text is important to solving the hunt, there are four lines that go with the four images; One line for each image.
Happy New Year, and good luck!

by "lines" you mean lines, not verses or stanzas??

by "lines" you mean lines, not verses or stanzas?? There are 4 lines in the 1st verse/ stanza, 3 lines in the 2nd, and 3 lines in the 3rd. The first 'line' is "China bauble exits the..." Each line may or may not be a complete sentence - it is just what is on that line.

Because I have had a few (incorrect) solutions sent in, I want to make sure everyone has the same information to work from. The hunt is not about the invention of items shown in the images.
Keep the ideas coming, and good luck!

Not a hint, but just a clarification. The images were each chosen as representations of an idea. Identifying the specific image will not help solve the puzzle. They were just chosen out of Google's stock images.
Good luck, everyone!

Yay, I think I found one.... I'm stumped on the other two. I now understand "observer bias".

Again, so everyone is working with the same information:
The 3 answers are not any of the images - along with the text, the images are clues to the 3 answers I'm looking for. And the answers will fit in the spaces provided.
The truth lies hidden in the pictures and in the text :-)
Good luck!

All of the images and all of the text are connected to each other and to the 3 answers, but none of them ARE the answers.
So when you submit your answers, be sure to mention how they are all connected to each other :-)

I have come across a few fun pieces of unusual history while investigating, but I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere close to the correct solution on this!

This morning I received the first correct answer that included both the three 1898 lines as well as how they are connected/ related to the four images and the text. Congratulations to this super sleuth (identity to be revealed at the end of the hunt)!
There is still time to win a prize, so here is Clue #3 as promised:
HASTENING A REALM
Some of you are close!
Good luck!

Upadate:
I am having problems with the messaging forum. I get a "Proboard error" message when I try to open messages, or when I try to create a message. So please send any submissions or messages to my email for now at: forgottenhistoryhunt@gmail.com
Also, I responded to a few messages this morning. If you are having the same issues with the messaging site and did not get them, cannot open them, or are waiting for a response, contact me via my email.
It looks like the glitch with messaging has been fixed, so you can go back to sending me submissions or questions via messaging here on Mysterious Writings.
Thanks!
