It looks like another snowy day in New York City! Here’s a view of the Museum’s 77th Street entrance in 1905, pulled from our Digital Collections. You can spot one of Manhattan’s elevated trains in the background, which operated on the Upper West Side until 1940.

Stay warm this weekend with a visit to the Museum! We're open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm.

I’ve been very into Abner Dean's work these last couple days. Here's one of his New Yorker Covers from 1934.

I’ve also been thinking about pairing music with my posts. Here’s the Ray Noble Orchestra getting particularly jazzy in 1933 with a vocal refrain by Al Bowlly (everybody loves Al Bowlly), some hot trumpet by Nat Gonella, some great baritone saxophone by Ernest Ritte, and reedman Freddy Gardner.
