I am completely enamored with this stock illustration for missing greyhounds they used in the early-19th century Hull Advertiser.

Just an absolutely flawless little beastie.

A Christmas story only for the people who know what a Hull accent is like.

As is well-known in Yorkshire, three wise men came from the East Riding on camels.

When they arrived at the nativity, the first presented his gift, declaring "Ah've brought you gerld!"

The second followed, announcing "An' Ah've brought you frankincense!"

The third then said "And that's all we've time fer," and they all departed.

Because a wise man knows, you should always leave them wanting myrrh.
