For all of you that have been getting a lot of rain, I thought I would post Baxter and McDonnell's Noah Ark pattern, published in 1922 in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
One of the problems with the Baxter/McDonnell patterns is that frequently one had to mail away for the rest of the pattern:
"The camel is the last member of Noah's Ark family to be published. The elephant and rhinoceros will not be published as they are too large for the space allotted. Any reader wishing them may have them by enclosing a stamped envelope with the request" (January 1923).
But I couldn't find the swan or the pelican :( in the issues. Perhaps this is one of the reason that the folder is in the back of the cabinet and not posted on the blog.
Have a safe and happy day!
