The genuses Marsh described for the first time in 1879:
Brontosaurus (same as Apatosaurus)
Camptonotus (no longer valid)
Camptosaurus
Coelurus
Additionally, Marsh described the following species (of previously described genuses) in 1879:
Apatosaurus laticollis (same as A. ajax)
Atlantosaurus excelcus (no longer valid)
Stegosaurus ungulatus
The electric light bulb was invented in 1879.
It is in a private collection.
In November 2008 his painting Danseuse au repos, from 1879, was sold for $37,042,500.
Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb. The first successful test of his invention was in October of 1879, during which the light lasted for over 13 hours. He acquired the patent in 1880.
There is no way of knowing how many artists there were in the world then or now. Tens of thousands, anyway.
Brontosaurus was discovered by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1879. Two years before, however, he discovered Apatosaurus ajax. It turns out that Brontosaurus belonged to the same genus as Apatosaurus ajax, so the name Brontosaurus isn't valid. Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus excelsus.

Lou Marsh was born in 1879.
It is said that the Brontosaurus does not exist; paleontologist O.C. Marsh, who discovered the Brontosaurus in 1879 found a skeleton that did not have a head, so he used a skull that was found miles away to complete the skeleton. The skeleton O.C. Marsh had found was actually the skeleton of an Apatosaurus, which is a species he had already discovered and named two years earlier. So that being said, there was no longer any dinosaur named Brontosaurus.
