We were holding this image for another holiday, but cats win out over Halloween any day. For #NationalCatDay this 1893 image from the NY Condensed Milk Co. shows Eagle Brand evaporated milk spilling out of a platter being tipped by fluffy kittens. Oh, and a girl is there too.

We're #BugginOut over the @iglibraries #WednesdayChallenge and can't feature enough of the beautiful plates found in The Naturalist's Library. Here, the vol. 1 title page features a variety of different #insects. #archives

We feature a lot of great circus and allied arts materials in our department, but we also have a large collection of children's literature, historical textbooks, and incredibly unique rare books on a wide variety of topics. #archives #illustration #ChildrensBooks
