☀️ Heat & humidity are synonymous with the #DogsDaysofSummer, so our #ObjectoftheMonth is this beleaguered bulldog at the beach facing off against a feisty crab! 🦀🐕 Charley Harper’s whimsical 1976 serigraph "Claws" is one of > 100 Harper works in our collection. (OSAC 00039)

🎂 Happy 50th birthday, @NIFC_Fire! Located in Boise, ID, it was dedicated #OTD 1970 and is the nation's support center for federal entities (including @BLMFire, @NatlParkService, @USFWS, @USIndianAffairs) managing wildland fire. #NIFC50

Just look at that face! What's not to love? Wishing you a happy #ManateeAppreciationDay with this image from our collection: artist Jim Barry's 1992 "Portrait of a Manatee." (OSAC 02500).

This c1925 vessel is by Nampeyo of Hano (Hopi-Tewa, c1859-1942), perhaps the 1st Native American potter nationally recognized by name. She often decorated her pottery with an abstract bird wing design known as the migration pattern. (INTR 01368) #5WomenArtists #WomensHistoryMonth

Tewa artist Maria Martinez (1887-1980) crafted polychrome pots but also experimented with ancient techniques. By the early 1920s she'd revived traditional Pueblo black ware & made further innovations. She created this black-on-red vessel in 1934. (INTR 01426) #WomensHistoryMonth

#OTD 1933, Harold L. Ickes is installed as the 32nd secretary of the @Interior. He would become--by far--the Department's longest- serving secretary...just shy of 13 years with both the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations.
