1. This week’s Caturday comes from the, “Wow, The New York Public Library really does have EVERYTHING” file. This is a photo of “Hitler” the cat (he has a black mark under his nose) with Sam the alligator, conductor Ben Bernie, an entire band and two totally unenthusiastic people at a jitterbug contest on Aug. 22, 1939. Perhaps you should read that ridiculous sentence again. The crazy photo was taken at the 1939 World’s Fair, and is from our incredible World’s Fair collection (the subject of our first free Biblion app; if you haven’t seen the newly-released second edition yet about Frankenstein, download it now). Happy incredibly odd Caturday!!
