Gift for a Birthday

Kittens

Lithograph, 1846, from the Harry T. Peters

"America on Stone" Collection,

Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.

My nana apparently had this saved up for many many years.

He found an appropriate time to gift it to me!

This year this is the loveliest gift I received.

The 'America on Stone' Collection comprises 1,686 prints acquired by Harry T. Peters (1881-1948), a wealthy New York coal merchant and sportsman, in the course of his research on 19th-century lithography. More about the collection here.
