Guarding the library--New York
"In 1895 the Lenox, Astor and Tilden libraries were consolidated to form the N.Y. Public Library. Its reference and circulating departments with their 3,870,000 books and pamphlets serve a daily average of 10,000 people. 11 million books a year are lent for home use."--printed on verso.

The image depicts a vintage postcard illustration from New York City, showcasing an artistic portrayal of the public library's exterior with architectural features in muted shades. A prominent stone lion statue sits atop a pedestal near pedestrians and pigeons on the sidewalk below. The vibrant colors around it highlight various urban elements such as buildings adorned with advertisements and signs that suggest commercial activity. Figures dressed in early 20th-century attire are present, including men wearing suits, hats, and overcoats alongside women donning dresses of pastel hues, indicating a bygone era's everyday life within an iconic cityscape.

The image is a postcard featuring an illustrated scene. In the foreground, there's a large lion statue with a human figure standing on its base. The lion is sitting in front of a fountain, and there are several birds around it. There's also a person dressed in a coat with a hat, and another individual nearby, possibly engaged in conversation or activity.

The background shows an urban setting with buildings that resemble New York architecture, including a recognizable skyscraper. The fountain has a sign saying "Central Park," suggesting the location is intended to be Central Park. Above the statue and the people, there's text that reads, "Guarding the library, New York."

The postcard is signed in the bottom left corner by "F. S." This signature indicates the artist or creator of the illustration. The overall impression is that this is a whimsical representation of a well-known landmark from New York City, possibly with a playful twist regarding library guardianship.

Does this map look familiar? "1876 #US #presidential #election #contested #states

"#Tilden clearly won the popular vote, but the electoral vote as contested in four states for various reasons. Ironically (from today’s perspective) the Republicans accused the Democrats of suppressing the vote of African Americans in the South."

"The upshot of all this was the #CompromiseOf1877, an informal bit of horse-trading by #Congress to give the majority of electoral votes to #Hayes in return for the withdrawal of federal troops protecting the rights of former slaves in the South, thus ending #Reconstruction and paving the way for the #JimCrow era to begin."

Hey #EastBay #bike people - Wild Cat Canyon up in #Tilden was washed out and closed to cars a couple weeks back but still passable on a bike. Anyone know if that’s still true?

Among the presidential streets of #Chicago, there is a tiny one called #Tilden Street. There is no #Hayes Street among them. I really hope there is a great story about this. Anyone know the relevant bits of Chicago #history behind this? #1876

I can guess, but I’m hoping for a story.

Flipped some logs (carefully) at Tilden Park Saturday.

Eh not #entomology but it’s still getting the #
