Check out this great historic photo of our library lions Patience and Fortitude, taken sometime between 1910 and 1960 outside of our landmark 42nd Street building. The image was captured by the famous Wurts Brothers, and is now in our Irma and Paul Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy. It’s also in our Digital Gallery - hey, did you know you can buy prints of any image in the Digital Gallery? You can make your home or office nicer while supporting NYPL. And right now, in honor of the 42nd Street building’s 100th birthday, you can get 20 percent off your next purchase if you use the code Yes100 at checkout! So buy yourself something nice!
