Happy #WorldLemurDay!
A lovely lithograph of a lemur by Lear (Edward Lear) from 'Gleanings from the menagerie and aviary at Knowsley Hall', 1846-50.
We do like alliteration & tongue twisters, they do seem appropriate for someone remembered for his 'nonsense'.

Are you following all the drama of the Australian bird of the year voting? The Gang Gang Cockatoo is a clear front runner with 955 votes. It's day 3 of voting though, so the Gouldian Finch could make a comeback! https://t.co/ZC9uW6Czl6 #BirdOfTheYear #SpecialCollections 1/2
