petsincollections: “The Camelopard” by Jack B. Yeats, from A Broadside, for May 1909. Cuala Press Broadside Collection, Villanova University Digital Library. Personally, I’d love to take my “camelopard” for a stroll through town! (Camelopard is the archaic English name for giraffe, derived from its Latin name camelopardis — so-called because of the giraffe’s resemblance to leopards (spots) and camels (face).) Our latest submission to “Pets in Collections”. This is probably my favorite item in our collection — I love any excuse to show it off! :D
