This week’s Caturday is an 1870’s print from our Mid-Manhattan Picture Collection depicting Robinson Crusoe eating with the dog and two cats he rescued from a shipwreck. It’s a little random, but it’s cute, neat and, because it shows food, it’s also appropriate - we have a brand new, free exhibition (that just opened yesterday at our 42nd Street building) called Lunch Hour NYC. It uses our collections to tell amazing stories about the history of the midday meal in New York. The Times dug it. You will, too. So go check it out. While you’re at it, if you’re a foodie, check out the blog (well, blogs) of exhibition co-curator (and NYPL culinary collections librarian) Rebecca Federman. Here’s a little tidbit - she has a cat. Happy Caturday! PS - Yes, we know Robinson Crusoe is eating dinner in this image. Whatever.
