Cat, by Leslie Adkin. Te Papa (A.008890) - No copyright restrictions known

I'll shortly have some more finds for Wordless Vintage Wednesday.  Till then, how about this fabulous cat snap (undated) by Leslie Adkin from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa?  Upon investigation, George Leslie Adkin turns out to have been a self-taught powerhouse of an archaeologist and ethnologist.  Read about him (it's inspiring) here.

That's right, your friendly curator is mailing it in this morning.
