Descendants

@Edmonds_Scanner Alternative, longer alt text:

"A black and white photograph from a 1911 storybook depicting a cat with a bit of bandage wrapped about its head. A caption reads: "I have a sick head." The cat is sitting next to a tiny little table with a white tasselled table cloth, a small crystal glass, and two bottles of what might be medicine but do actually more look like champagne, with tiny gold foil caps layered on top of the stopper. The cat is tilting its head and closing its eyes in a manner indicating slight discomfort. The text and caption below is in a decorative frame with tortoise and frog and cattails in a deep warm yellow."

Incredible fucking image. 😆

@sinituulia

Thank you for that! I found the image on the Public Domain Image Archive, which is a cool site with lots of old images like that.

@Edmonds_Scanner You're very welcome, I like writing alt text and felt inspired!

I've spent some five minutes browsing and determined that my elbow is going to give the fuck out before I run out of interesting things to scroll through
