Welcome to Fun Finds Friday! An ongoing series where we share some of the fun and unique items we come across in the library and archives collections.

From the Central Archives comes this original 1921 gouache on board cover artwork for The Natural History Magazine. Curiously, this art doesn't appear to have made it to print. In 1921 Natural History covers were duotone - color covers weren't introduced until 1940.
