Black and white photo of a shorthaired tuxedo tabby kitten on a floor next to a black, old fashioned candlestick type telephone. The kitten is sitting up on its haunches with its paws against the mouthpiece, peering into it curiously. Another kitten can be seen a couple feet away, blurry but you can see its sleeping in the upright loaf position.

Before the internet kittens had to call everyone individually to explain how small and cute they were. Ca. 1920 - 1935. collection.powerhouse.com.au/object/597342

Kirsty MacColl’s Voice Was Singular. A New Box Aims to Bring It Wider. The singer-songwriter, who died in 2000, is best known for duetting on β€œFairytale of New York.” But in an unusual career, she also made her mark behind the scenes.
