Queen Elizabeth II (whose 86th birthday is today) was a total bookworm as a teen. I cant help but wonder what she’s reading.

Pop-up shops? Nothing new. Can you guess the year this photo of our traveling library—stationed at a factory in Long Island City—was taken?

There’ll be even more Throwback Thursday fun for you on our Flickr account.

Portrait of Signora Vighi (1930). Cagnaccio di San Pietro (Italian, 1897-1946). Oil.

Cagnaccio’s favorite subjects were still lifes, children, and the daily life, painted in a detached and sometimes dramatic style with an extreme attention to detail. Not too far from the formal achievements of the German New Objectivity, Cagnaccio pushed realism to its most extreme and alienated form.

The beautiful young woman pictured in this photo is Helen Keller who was born on this day in 1880. The story of her relationship with teacher, Anne Sullivan who helped her gain the ability to communicate was chronicled in the film and play, The Miracle Worker. You can find copies of the film, The Miracle Worker at multiple branches of the NYPL as well as books on Helen Keller’s amazing achievements.
