found on pinterest, believed PD

(Obligatory don't-feed-your-pets-champagne statement here.)
Happy New Year, Museum readers! It's been a year of change and fortune here, with more to come in 2019, and I look forward to it all. I hope you too are looking forward to your 2019.
With love to all creatures in your house,
Your friendly curator

vintage halloween greetings

thanks freevintageillustrations.com

Nothing like a cozy chat about ghosts between friends. But if you love Halloween as much as I do, then this makes perfect sense.

Happy Halloween, dear readers all!

Keep your black cats safe, and have fun!

I'm currently out of my own discoveries for Vintage Wednesday, but I found this fine portrait at the Museum of New Zealand's collection. This was taken at the Burton Brothers studio in Dunedin, NZ.

vintage wednesday

status assumed PD

I was sent this image by a reader (thanks, Mr. May!). Doing a little digging for story, and finding it, I learned that this was taken on Lafayette Street, New York City, in 1928 (or at least that's when it was published in the New York Times).
