There’s a satisfying pairing motif happening in this Biddle family photograph. Two staunch ladies, two charming donkeys, and two faithful dogs occupy this picture. We had to look a bit closer to find one of the dogs sitting in the carriage upon his mistress’ lap.

A tufted ring-necked budget pecker is a rare breed indeed, conceived in the mind of economist Clement Winston during a (likely dull) meeting at the Office of Business Economics at the US Bureau of the Budget. Check our instagram on Tuesdays to see more of Mr. Winston’s innumerable amount of bored-at-work-doodles, belonging to the Clement and Sophie Winston papers.

From the early days of photographs all the way up to the mid 20th century, the prominent Philadelphian Biddles photographed their pups with the same devotion as their humans. We believe that this little fellow, lovingly surrounded by his faithful canine companions, is Julian Cornell Biddle (1929-2008), son of Alfred Alexander and Gertrude Biddle, Call number: Ms Coll. 1351, Box 21, Folder 5 Finding aid: http://ow.ly/361q30kEYXR * * * #kislakcenter #librariesofinstagram #pennlibraries #scpc #BiddleFamilyFriday #familyfriday #Phillyhistory #photograph #vintagephoto #photoalbum #portrait #specialcollections https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqz64dVgNzb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wtnf3go48nrw
