"It's easier to make a drawing than money and it lasts longer"—C. J. Taylor Did you know we have an autograph collection? Former City Librarian Charles Fletcher Lummis collected over 1,700 autographs between 1905 and 1910 by sending specially-designed library stationery to all the leading men (and some) women of the day, asking them to "improve" the page with a saying, drawing, or other inspiring example of their work. Here's a 1906 handwritten note and illustration by Charles Jay Taylor. #NationalHandwritingDay #lapl #lapltreasures #CharlesLummis #autographs #cjtaylor #1906 #quote #illustration
